Eichmüller men's watch white dial 42 mm black leather strap

Looking for a present for a man who appreciates a watch with a bit of mechanical character? This Eichmüller is a good place to start. It is a men's watch with a white dial, a 42 mm round case and a black leather strap, and it comes in a presentation box, so it is ready to be handed over. If you like the idea of a self-winding piece, you can browse more men's automatic watches in the shop too.

No battery, just wrist time

The movement is an automatic Miyota 8215, so it winds itself as it is worn. If the watch has been sitting in a drawer, you can also wind it by hand using the crown. It has a power reserve, which means it keeps running for a while once taken off. After that it stops, and all you need to do is wind it and set the time again. The seconds hand keeps moving while you adjust the time, so you can set it to the minute. Turn the watch over and the transparent case back lets you watch the mechanism at work.

Dial and case

The white dial is easy to read, with the date shown in a small window. The stainless steel case is gold-tone, measures 42 mm across and is 12 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist. A mineral glass protects the dial day to day. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which is fine for rain and splashes, but it is better to take the watch off before swimming.

The leather strap

The black leather strap is 20 mm wide. Leather softens and develops character with wear, and it will last longer if you keep it away from water.

On the wrist it sits comfortably with a shirt or a suit, yet it is just as happy with weekend clothes. It is a watch for every day, at work or off duty, and one that will be appreciated by whoever opens the box.
