Eichmüller automatic watch for men white dial 41 mm

You slip it on before the first coffee, and by the time you have buttoned your cuff the white dial and the small date window have already told you what you need to know. This Eichmüller is a men's watch with an automatic movement, a 41 mm round case in silver-coloured stainless steel and a black leather strap.

Movement and legibility

The movement is a Miyota 8215 automatic, so it draws its energy from the motion of your wrist and needs no battery. If the watch has been sitting in a drawer, you can also wind it by hand with the crown. It has a power reserve, which means it keeps running for a while once you take it off. After a longer rest, wind it, then set the time. The seconds hand keeps sweeping while the crown is pulled out, so you set the time to the minute rather than to the second. The date appears in a window on the white dial, and a transparent case back lets you watch the movement at work when you turn the watch over. If you enjoy mechanical watches, our range of men's automatic watches has more to explore.

Case and strap

The case measures 41 mm across and 12 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists. Stainless steel copes well with perspiration and everyday damp, and the mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is 5 ATM, enough for rain and splashes, though it is not meant for swimming. The black leather strap is 20 mm wide and softens to the shape of your wrist over time. Keep it dry and it will last. The watch comes in a presentation box, which makes it easy to give as a gift.

On a working day it sits quietly under a shirt cuff, and with a suit it keeps things understated. At the weekend it works just as well with a plain shirt or a knit.
