Eichmüller automatic watch for men 41 mm black dial

Black dial, silver-tone steel case, black leather strap: this Eichmüller is the kind of watch that sits happily with a navy jumper, a white shirt or a plain grey tee. It is an automatic men's watch with a 41 mm round case and a date window, built around a Miyota 8215 movement.

Reading the dial

The black dial keeps things quick to read, even when you glance down mid-stride. A small window shows the date, and that is the only extra, so nothing crowds the face.

Case and size

The stainless steel case measures 41 mm across and 12 mm thick, a fairly standard size for a man's wrist. If you are unsure how that will sit on you, our watch size guide will help you decide. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, so rain and splashes are fine, but take it off before swimming.

What drives it

There is no battery to replace. The automatic movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist, and you can also wind it by hand with the crown, handy if the watch has spent a while in a drawer. It has a power reserve, so it keeps running for some time 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 minute. Turn the watch over and the transparent case back shows the movement at work.

Strap

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

This is a watch for every day, from the office to the weekend. It comes in a presentation box, which is useful if you are buying it as a gift. To compare it with other models, have a look at our automatic watches for men.
