Men's watch Riedenschild diver red dial steel bracelet 46 mm

The first thing you notice about this Riedenschild diver is how it is put together: a stainless steel case with a screw-down crown, a sapphire crystal over a red dial, and a silver-tone steel bracelet closed by a safety deployant clasp. It is a men's watch with a round 46 mm case, 13 mm thick, and water resistance rated at 100 ATM.

What drives it

Inside is a Miyota 2S60 quartz movement, so the time stays accurate without any winding. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can swap it and check the seals while the case is open.

Reading it at a glance

The red dial stands out against the silver case and bracelet. Hands and hour markers are luminescent, so once they have caught some light you can still read them in the dark. Day and date sit on the dial, and the rotating bezel lets you time something simple: line its marker up with the minute hand, then read off how long has passed. The sapphire crystal resists scratches well and its anti-reflective treatment keeps glare down.

Built for the water

The screw-down crown must be fully tightened before every swim. A helium escape valve lets out gas built up during saturation diving, a feature borrowed from professional dive watches. After a dip in the sea, rinse the watch in fresh water, and have the seals checked from time to time.

Fit and strap options

At 46 mm this is a big case, best suited to larger wrists or anyone who likes a watch with presence. To shorten the steel bracelet, you remove links, and our watch size guide explains how. Keep any links you take out in case you need them later. The lug width is 22 mm, the measurement to note if you change straps, and quick-release spring bars let you swap without tools. A second strap, in silicone, comes with the watch.

Its diver styling works from the beach to the office, with the bracelet for smarter days and the silicone strap when you are heading into the water.
