Eichmüller automatic men's watch 41 mm leather white dial

You pick the watch up from the bedside table in the morning, give the crown a few turns if it has been resting, and set the time to the minute. This is the Eichmüller automatic men's watch, with a Miyota 8215 movement, a 41 mm case and a brown leather strap.

Reading the dial

The white dial keeps the time easy to read at a glance. A small window shows the date. The watch also has a power reserve, so it keeps running for a while after you take it off.

How the movement works

The Miyota 8215 is an automatic movement. It winds from the motion of your wrist, so there is no battery to replace. You can also wind it by hand with the crown, which is useful for restarting it after a few days in a drawer. After a full stop, wind it, then reset the time. The seconds hand keeps moving while you pull the crown out, which lets you set the time to the exact minute. The transparent caseback lets you watch the mechanism when you turn the watch over.

Case and water resistance

The stainless steel case is two-tone, 41 mm across and 12 mm thick. If you are unsure whether that diameter suits your wrist, our watch size guide will help you decide. The steel stands up to sweat and everyday humidity, and the mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain and splashes. Do not swim with it.

Strap

The brown leather strap is 20 mm wide. It softens and develops a patina over time. Keep it away from water to make it last.

With its leather strap and white dial, the watch suits office outfits and smarter days out. It comes in a gift box, which makes it easy to give as a present.
