Riedenschild chronograph men's watch 43 mm green dial

A deep green dial set in a silver-tone steel case sits well with navy knitwear, grey flannel and dark denim, and holds its own just as easily with a plain white shirt. The Riedenschild is a men's chronograph with a 43 mm round case and a black silicone strap, so the look stays calm and the details do the talking.

Reading the dial

The green dial is clean and easy to read at a glance. Hands and hour markers are luminescent, so they stay legible in the dark once charged by light. Seconds run on a small separate sub-dial, and a window shows the date. A 24-hour display helps you tell day from night. The chronograph is operated with the two pushers, and its minute counter runs up to 60. The rotating bezel doubles as a timer: line its marker up with the minute hand, then read off the time that has passed.

Movement and strap

Inside is a quartz movement (TMI VD57), accurate and simple, with nothing to wind or adjust. You only need to replace the battery when it runs out. The black silicone strap copes with sweat and water and rinses clean in seconds. The width between the lugs is 22 mm, worth noting if you ever want a spare strap. If you would like to compare it with similar models, have a look at our men's watches with a silicone strap.

Case and water resistance

The stainless steel case measures 43 mm across and 12 mm thick, with a mineral glass crystal. It has real presence on the wrist, so if yours is slim, check that the case does not overhang it. Water resistance is 20 ATM, which suits the pool and the sea at the surface, though not diving. Do not operate the crown or the pushers under water.

It is happy at the gym, on a run or in the workshop, and it looks right at the office on Monday and out for lunch on Sunday. A watch you can simply wear every day.
