Men's watch Riedenschild blue dial 43 mm steel bracelet

Stainless steel is the first thing you notice on this Riedenschild: a cool, solid feel on the wrist, in a silver finish that runs from the 43 mm round case right down the bracelet. Against it sits a blue dial. This is a men's watch with a quartz movement, analogue display and a Miyota 2315 calibre inside.

Reading the dial

The blue dial keeps the layout easy to read at a glance. Hands and hour markers are luminescent, so after exposure to light they remain visible in the dark. A window shows the date. The tachymeter scale on the bezel gives an average speed: start the seconds timing at the beginning of a measured kilometre, stop at the end, and read the figure opposite the seconds hand.

Quartz movement

The Miyota 2315 is a quartz movement, so there is nothing to wind or set aside from the date and time. The only upkeep is an occasional battery change.

Bracelet and clasp

The silver bracelet is made of links and is sized by removing one or more of them. Keep any you take out, as they may be needed again. The deployant clasp has a safety mechanism that prevents it opening by accident. The width between the lugs is 22 mm, worth noting if you ever want a replacement strap. Our watch size guide explains the link removal step by step and helps you judge the fit.

Case, glass and water resistance

The case measures 43 mm across and 12 mm thick, so it has real presence and suits medium to larger wrists. It is stainless steel, which resists corrosion, and the glass is mineral. Water resistance is 5 ATM: rain and splashes are fine, but it is not meant for swimming.

With its metal bracelet, this watch is straightforward to wear every day, from the office to the weekend. It arrives in a presentation box, which makes it easy to give as a gift.
