Riedenschild men's automatic watch 42 mm black dial 5 ATM

This Riedenschild men's watch is built to be worn daily without fuss: there is no battery to replace, the black dial reads at a glance, and the 42 mm case fits most men's wrists. It is an automatic watch with a date window, a black leather strap and a stainless steel case.

Movement and power reserve

Inside is a Miyota 8215 automatic movement, wound by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has been sitting in a drawer, you can also wind it by hand using the crown. Once taken off, it keeps running on its power reserve for a while. After it has stopped, wind it, then set the time. The seconds hand keeps moving while the crown is pulled out, so you can set the time to the exact minute. A transparent case back lets you see the movement when you turn the watch over. If you are comparing options, you will find similar pieces among our men's automatic watches.

Case and water resistance

The round stainless steel case is black, measures 42 mm across and is 12 mm thick. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain and splashes. For swimming, take it off.

Strap

The black leather strap softens and takes the shape of your wrist over the first weeks. Keep it away from water so it lasts. The lug width is 20 mm, the measurement you need if you ever want to fit a different strap.

With its black dial and leather strap, this is a watch for every day, from the office to the weekend, and it sits as well under a shirt cuff as with a suit. It comes in a presentation box, which makes it easy to give as a gift.
