Riedenschild watch for men chronograph blue dial 44 mm

At 44 mm across and 12 mm thick, this Riedenschild chronograph is a watch you will notice on the wrist, and it sits best on medium to large wrists. If you are unsure how that looks on you, our watch size guide explains sizing and how to take links out of the bracelet.

Reading the dial

The blue dial is easy to read at a glance, even on the move. The hands and 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 the 24-hour display helps you tell morning from evening.

Chronograph and tachymeter

The chronograph is operated with two pushers, and the minute counter goes up to 60. The tachymeter scale lets you work out an average speed: time one kilometre, and the seconds hand points to the speed in km/h on the scale.

Case and movement

The case is stainless steel, which resists corrosion. Inside is a TMI VD53 quartz movement, accurate and simple, with nothing to adjust. Only the battery needs changing from time to time. Water resistance is 5 ATM, so rain, splashes and hand washing are fine, but it is not meant for swimming.

Bracelet and clasp

The silver-tone stainless steel bracelet is 22 mm wide and is shortened by removing links, so keep any you take out. The deployant clasp has a safety lock that stops it opening by accident.

It is a sturdy, easy-going watch for work, weekend walks or a day out, and one that copes happily with a busy week.
