Eichmüller automatic men's watch black dial leather 42 mm

Silver-tone stainless steel on the outside, supple black leather on the wrist: the Eichmüller automatic men's watch keeps things simple with a black dial, a silver-tone case and a Miyota 8215 movement that never needs a battery.

Case and dial

The round case measures 42 mm across and 12 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists. If you are unsure, the watch size guide will help you decide. The stainless steel resists corrosion and is paired with a mineral glass. Against the black dial, the hands stand out clearly, and a small window shows the date. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and hand washing. Take it off for swimming.

The movement

Everything runs on the motion of your arm, so there is no battery to replace. If the watch has been sitting in a drawer for a few days, you can also wind it by hand with the crown. A power reserve keeps it running for a while once you take it off. If it does stop, wind it and set the time again. The seconds hand keeps sweeping while you pull the crown out, so you can set the time to the exact minute. Turn the watch over and the transparent caseback lets you watch the mechanism at work.

The leather strap

The black leather strap softens and develops character the more you wear it. Keep it away from water and it will last. The width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the figure to note if you fancy swapping it for another strap.

With its understated look, this watch goes from the office to the weekend without a change of outfit.
