Riedenschild diver watch for men 46 mm

The case of this Riedenschild is stainless steel, 46 mm across and 13 mm thick, with a screw-down crown that locks against the case and a helium escape valve set into its side. Add a rotating bezel, a black dial and a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet, and you have a proper diver in the classic mould.

Reading the dial

The black dial is built for quick glances. The hands and hour markers are luminous, so they stay readable once the lights go down, and the day and date sit on the dial itself. Use the rotating bezel as a simple timer: line its marker up with the minute hand when you start, then read off the elapsed time.

Built for the water

Water resistance is rated at 100 ATM. Always screw the crown fully home before getting wet, and rinse the watch in fresh water after a swim in the sea. The helium valve is a detail borrowed from professional diving watches, letting built-up gas escape during saturation dives.

Quartz movement

Inside, the quartz movement keeps time without any fuss. There is nothing to wind, and when the battery runs out a watchmaker can replace it.

Bracelet and fit

The silver-tone steel bracelet has a folding clasp with a safety catch, so it will not pop open by accident. You adjust the fit by removing links, and our watch size guide shows how to do it and helps you judge whether a 46 mm case suits your wrist. This is a big watch, best for larger wrists or anyone who likes a substantial presence.

Day to day, it moves easily from the office desk to the weekend, on the seafront or around town, with a diver's look that stays understated.
