Riedenschild men's watch chronograph black dial 45 mm

At first glance the black dial is what holds your attention: dark, calm and uncluttered, set in a black stainless steel case and paired with a brown leather strap. This is the Riedenschild men's chronograph, a round 45 mm watch with a quartz movement (Miyota OS21) and water resistance of 5 ATM.

Reading the dial

The black background keeps the display easy to read, even on the move. The hands carry a luminous coating, so once charged by light they remain visible in the dark. A small window shows the date, and a 24-hour indication helps you tell day from night. The chronograph is started, stopped and reset with the pushers, and its minute counter runs up to 60. The quartz movement keeps accurate time without any upkeep. When the battery weakens, have it changed by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals.

Case and strap

The stainless steel case measures 45 mm across and 11 mm thick, with a mineral glass. It has presence on the wrist, so if yours is on the slim side, check the size first. Our watch size guide will help you decide. Steel copes well with perspiration and everyday damp. At 5 ATM the watch handles rain and splashes, but it is best taken off for swimming. The brown leather strap is 22 mm wide and softens to the shape of your wrist over time. Keep it dry to make it last.

Understated enough for the office and relaxed enough for the weekend, it is a watch you can wear daily without it ever looking out of place.
