Thunderbirds men's watch 42 mm blue dial

The stainless steel case of this Thunderbirds watch is cut to a round 42 mm and sits just 8 mm thick, so it slips under a shirt cuff without fuss. The silver-tone finish sets off a blue dial that reads cleanly at a glance, and a brown leather strap completes a quietly handsome men's watch.

Case and glass

Stainless steel copes well with sweat and everyday humidity, which suits a watch meant to be worn daily. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, enough for splashes and drizzle. Take it off before showering or swimming.

Movement

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, a dependable choice if you simply want the right time without winding or adjusting. When the battery eventually weakens, have a watchmaker replace it and check the seals at the same time.

The leather strap

The brown leather strap measures 20 mm wide and softens to your wrist over the first weeks of wear. Keep it away from water and it will age gracefully. If you like this pairing of steel and leather, you will find more in our men's leather strap watches.

With its restrained blue and brown palette, this watch fits an office wardrobe as easily as a weekend outfit. It arrives in a presentation box, which makes it a sensible choice as a gift.
