Riedenschild men's watch silver-tone dial 43 mm chronograph

If you want a watch that works as hard as you do, with a sporty look and a case that makes itself noticed, this Riedenschild chronograph is aimed at you. It is a men's watch with a silver-tone dial, a stainless steel case of 43 mm and a black silicone strap.

Movement and readability

Inside is a TMI VD57 quartz movement, so the time stays accurate without any winding. When the battery weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. The silver-tone dial reads at a glance. The hands and hour markers carry a luminescent coating: charge them in the light and they remain legible in the dark. Seconds run in a separate sub-dial, the date sits in a small window, and a 24-hour display tells you whether it is morning or evening.

Chronograph and rotating bezel

The chronograph is operated with the two pushers, and the minute counter runs up to 60. The rotating bezel doubles as a simple timer: set its marker opposite the minute hand when you start, then read the elapsed time directly.

Case, glass and strap

The case measures 43 mm across and 12 mm thick, which suits medium to large wrists. The glass is mineral. Water resistance is 20 ATM, so it copes with the pool and the sea at the surface, but it is not meant for diving. Do not operate the crown or the pushers underwater. The black silicone strap is made for active use and rinses clean under fresh water. The width between the lugs is 22 mm, worth noting if you plan to fit a spare strap.

Day to day, this is an easy watch to wear at work and at the weekend, with a sporty, technical look that suits jeans as well as a casual jacket. It comes in a presentation box, which helps if you are buying it as a gift.
