Riedenschild diver watch for men steel bracelet 46 mm

This Riedenschild diver watch is the kind you strap on in the morning and forget about until you need it. The steel bracelet, the black dial and the day and date window make it easy to read at a glance, and the build is tough enough for a run, a session at the gym or a weekend of DIY.

Reading it in any light

The black dial keeps things clear even when you are on the move. The hands and hour markers are luminescent, so after a little time in the light they stay readable in the dark. The rotating bezel doubles as a simple timer: line its marker up with the minute hand and you can read off the time elapsed. The quartz movement is Miyota 2S60, accurate and fuss-free, with nothing to wind or set apart from the occasional battery change.

Case and water resistance

The round stainless steel case measures 46 mm across and 13 mm thick, a big, solid watch that suits larger wrists. The sapphire crystal is very scratch resistant and its anti-reflective treatment helps keep the dial legible in bright sun. The screw-down crown must be fully screwed back in after every adjustment and always before the watch goes near water. The helium valve is proper dive-watch equipment, and the water resistance is rated at 100 ATM. A rinse in fresh water after the sea helps preserve it, and it is wise to have the seals checked from time to time.

On the wrist

The silver-tone steel bracelet is adjusted by removing links, and our watch size guide explains how, so keep the spare links. The 22 mm bracelet closes with a deployant clasp fitted with a safety lock against accidental opening. Quick-release fittings let you swap straps without tools, and a second strap in silicone is included for sportier days.

Comfortable from the office to the weekend, it is built for daily wear and never needs babying.
