Looking for a present for a man who is hard to buy for? This Thunderbirds men's watch is a sound pick: a 42 mm round case in stainless steel, a grey dial and a brown leather strap, and it arrives in a presentation box. It is a quartz watch with a Miyota 2035 movement, so the time simply stays right.
The dial is grey and the display is analogue, so you read the hour at a glance, with no fuss and no menus. The case is silver-tone and sits well against the brown of the strap.
At 42 mm across and 8 mm thick, the case suits most men's wrists without feeling bulky. The steel is tough and the mineral glass stands up to scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is rated 3 ATM, which means splashes are fine. Showers, baths and swimming are not. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can swap it and check the seals at the same time.
The strap is brown leather, 20 mm wide. It softens and takes on character the more you wear it, so keep it dry and it will last. If you like the look, there are more in our collection of men's leather strap watches.
Day to day, this is an easy watch to live with. It works with a shirt and tie at the office and just as well with a jumper and jeans at the weekend, and that versatility is what makes it a gift that actually gets worn.
