Riedenschild diver men's watch black dial steel bracelet

Black dial, silver-tone steel: this Riedenschild diver's watch is a natural partner for navy knitwear, a worn-in denim jacket or a plain grey tee on a weekend walk. It is a men's quartz watch with an analogue display, a round case and a bracelet that matches it.

Movement and what it shows

The quartz movement is the Miyota 2S60, which keeps time without any winding. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time. Day and date sit in a small window on the dial.

Reading it in the dark

The black dial gives the hands plenty of contrast. Both the hands and the hour markers carry a luminescent coating, so once they have taken in some light you can still read the time after dark. The rotating bezel lets you track elapsed time: line its marker up with the minute hand at the start, then read how long has passed.

Built for the water

The stainless steel case measures 46 mm across and 13 mm thick, so this is a large, substantial watch that suits wider wrists or anyone who likes a big presence. If you are unsure, our watch size guide explains how to check the fit. Water resistance is rated at 100 ATM, and the screw-down crown and helium valve are details borrowed from professional dive watches. Always screw the crown fully home before swimming, rinse the watch in fresh water after the sea, and have the seals checked from time to time. The sapphire crystal resists scratches well and has an anti-reflective treatment.

The bracelet

The silver-tone steel bracelet is made of links, 22 mm wide, and you shorten it by removing links, so keep any you take out in case you need them again. The folding clasp has a safety lock against accidental opening, and quick-release spring bars let you take the bracelet off in one move without tools. A second strap in silicone comes with the watch, handy when you want something lighter for sport.

Walks, hikes, a busy weekend or a casual Friday at the office: it is a sturdy everyday companion that looks right with almost anything in your wardrobe.
