Men's watch Riedenschild chronograph 5 ATM 44 mm black dial

A watch you can read at a glance and wear from morning to evening without a second thought: this Riedenschild chronograph pairs a black dial with a stainless steel case and bracelet, in a 44 mm round case.

Reading the dial

The black dial keeps the time easy to read. Hands and hour markers are luminescent, so they stay visible in the dark after exposure to light. Seconds run on a small separate subdial, the date sits in a window, and a 24-hour display helps you tell day from night. The chronograph starts, stops and resets with the pushers, and the minute counter runs up to 60.

Using the tachymeter

The tachymeter scale gives you an average speed. Start the chronograph at the beginning of a kilometre, stop it at the end, then read the speed opposite the seconds hand.

Movement and care

The quartz movement, a TMI VD53, keeps reliable time without any attention from you. When the battery weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain and splashes. For swimming, it is better to take the watch off.

Fit on the wrist

The case measures 44 mm across and 12 mm thick, so it has a presence on the wrist and suits medium to large wrists. Our watch size guide will help you decide, and it explains how to shorten the silver-tone bracelet by removing links. Keep any links you take out. The folding clasp has a safety lock against accidental opening, and the lug width is 22 mm, the measurement to know if you ever change the strap.

Understated in silver and black, it suits an active weekend, a walk or a day at the office alike, and the chronograph is there when you need it.
