Riedenschild watch for men steel bracelet black dial 43 mm

The first thing you notice is the contrast: a black dial set in a silver-tone steel case, with a tachymeter ring around the edge that gives it a properly sporty look. This Riedenschild men's watch runs on a Miyota 2315 quartz movement and has a 43 mm round case.

What you read on the dial

The black background keeps the time easy to read at a glance. The hands and the hour markers are luminescent, so after a little light they stay visible in the dark. A small window shows the date. The tachymeter scale helps you work out an average speed: start timing at the beginning of a kilometre, stop at the end, and read the figure opposite the seconds hand. It looks like a chronograph, though its display is analogue and the movement is simple quartz, which means the only upkeep is a new battery from time to time.

Steel bracelet and fit

The silver-tone bracelet is made of stainless steel links and closes with a folding clasp with a safety lock, so it will not pop open by accident. To shorten it, you remove links, and the watch size guide explains how. Keep the spare links in case you ever need them. The lug width is 22 mm, useful to know if you want to try a different strap later.

Case size and water resistance

At 43 mm across and 12 mm thick, the case has real presence, so it suits a wrist of average size or larger better than a slim one. The case is stainless steel, and the mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is 5 ATM, enough for rain and splashes, but take it off before swimming.

For everyday wear, it works as a sturdy daily watch with sporty looks, easy to read in the office, on the road or at a weekend track day.
