Riedenschild diver watch for men 46 mm silicone strap

You step out of the sea, shake off the water and glance at your wrist: the black dial is still easy to read. That is the kind of use this Riedenschild diver watch is built for, a men's watch with a 46 mm stainless steel case and water resistance of 100 ATM.

Reading the time and timing a dive

The black dial gives the hands plenty of contrast. Both the hands and the hour markers are luminescent, so after some light exposure they stay readable in the dark. A window shows the date. The rotating bezel works as a simple timer: line its marker up with the minute hand, then read off how much time has passed.

Case and movement

The silver-tone case is stainless steel, 46 mm across and 13 mm thick, so it is a large, solid watch best suited to wider wrists. The crown screws down onto the case, and you should always tighten it fully before swimming. A helium escape valve is fitted, a feature borrowed from professional diving watches. Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps reliable time without any attention. When the battery eventually runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. After a swim in the sea, rinse the watch in fresh water and have its water resistance checked regularly.

On the wrist

The black silicone strap copes with sweat and water and rinses clean in seconds. The width between the lugs is 22 mm, worth noting if you ever want a spare strap, and quick-release fittings let you swap straps without tools. If you like this style, you will find more in our men's watches with silicone straps.

With its diver looks, this watch goes from the beach to the office without fuss, and it is a practical choice for every day, weekdays and weekends alike.
