Thunderbirds watch for men grey leather strap 42 mm

Grey leather has a quiet, slightly soft feel, and it is the first thing you notice on this Thunderbirds men's watch. The strap sits against the wrist like a well-worn belt, and the grey dial above it keeps the whole watch calm and easy on the eye.

A strap that settles in

The grey leather strap shapes itself to your wrist over the first weeks of wear. To keep it looking good for years, avoid getting it wet. The lug width is 20 mm, which is the figure to note if you ever want to try a different strap. If leather is your thing, you can browse more men's watches with a leather strap in the same spirit.

Case and glass

The round case is stainless steel in black, 42 mm across and 8 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists without looking oversized. A mineral glass covers the dial and stands up well to daily knocks and scuffs.

Reading the time

The display is analogue, with a grey background that makes the hands easy to pick out at a glance. There is nothing to decode, just the time.

Under the dial

The movement is a Miyota 2035 quartz. It is accurate, simple and needs no winding or regular adjustment. Only the battery has to be replaced from time to time. Water resistance is rated 3 ATM, so splashes are fine, but take the watch off before a shower or a swim.

Day to day, it works just as well at the office as at the weekend. The leather strap pairs naturally with a shirt or a suit, yet it is relaxed enough for casual clothes too. It also arrives in a presentation box, which makes it an easy gift to give.
