Riedenschild men's watch 43 mm white dial steel bracelet

At 43 mm across and 12 mm thick, this Riedenschild is a noticeably large men's watch, best suited to average and larger wrists. The round case and the bracelet are both stainless steel in a silver colour, set off by a white dial. If you are unsure how that diameter will look on your wrist, the watch size guide explains how to measure and how to remove links.

Reading the dial

The white background makes the time quick to read at a glance. The hands and the hour markers are luminescent, so after exposure to light they stay visible in the dark. A small window shows the date, and the tachymeter scale around the dial lets you work out an average speed: time one kilometre with the seconds hand and read the speed in km/h off the scale. The movement is a Miyota 2315 quartz, which needs no winding and only a battery change when it runs down. The glass is mineral.

Case, bracelet and clasp

The stainless steel case copes with sweat and everyday damp. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain and splashes, but it is better taken off for swimming. The silver bracelet has links and is 22 mm wide. You adjust the fit by removing one or more links, so keep any you take out. The deployant clasp has a safety catch that stops it opening by accident.

On the wrist, the steel bracelet works as easily with office clothes as with jeans, and the quartz movement keeps daily wear simple.
