Riedenschild men's diver watch 46 mm orange silicone strap

Most quartz watches stop at a date window and a plain case. This Riedenschild men's watch is built like a proper dive watch, with a rotating bezel, a screw-down crown, a helium escape valve and a water resistance of 100 ATM.

Reading it in any light

The dial is orange, which keeps it easy to read at a glance. The hands and hour markers are luminescent, so once charged by light they remain legible in the dark. A window shows the date. The rotating bezel lets you track elapsed time: line its marker up with the minute hand at the start, then read the time passed directly.

Case and sealing

The 46 mm round case in stainless steel is 13 mm thick, a large and solid format suited to wider wrists. If you are unsure of your fit, the watch size guide will help you decide. The crown screws down onto the case, so always tighten it fully before swimming. The helium valve releases gas built up during saturation diving. After a dip in the sea, rinse the watch in fresh water and have the seals checked from time to time.

Movement

Inside is a Miyota 1S13 quartz movement. It is accurate, needs no winding or adjustment, and only asks for a new battery now and then.

On the wrist

The orange silicone strap is 22 mm wide and made for sport, rinsing clean under the tap. Quick-release spring bars let you remove it in one move without tools. It works every day, from the office to the weekend, and arrives in a presentation box, which makes it an easy gift for a man who likes his watches big and bold.
