Riedenschild chronograph watch for men steel bracelet 44 mm

Stainless steel gives this Riedenschild chronograph a cool, solid feel against the wrist, from the 44 mm case through to the silver-tone link bracelet. Against it, the green dial adds a quiet note of colour without shouting. It is a quartz men's watch, 12 mm thick, with a round case.

Reading the dial

The green dial is easy to read at a glance. Both the hands and the hour markers are luminescent, so after some time in the light they stay visible in the dark. Seconds run on a small sub-dial, a window shows the date, and a 24-hour indication tells you whether it is day or night. The two pushers operate the chronograph, with a minute counter running up to 60. The tachymeter scale lets you work out an average speed: time one kilometre and read the speed in km/h from where the seconds hand lands.

Movement and case

Inside sits a TMI VD53 quartz movement, dependable and undemanding. The only upkeep is a battery change now and then. The case is stainless steel with a mineral glass, and the water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and hand washing. It is best taken off for swimming.

On the wrist

At 44 mm the case has real presence, so it suits medium to large wrists. The bracelet is 22 mm wide and closes with a safety deployant clasp that prevents accidental opening. To shorten it, you remove links, and our watch size guide explains how. Keep the links you take out in case you need them later.

The chronograph styling will appeal to motorsport fans, while the metal bracelet sits as comfortably with office tailoring as with a pair of jeans. It comes in a presentation box, which makes it easy to give as a gift.
