Thunderbirds watch for men beige leather strap 42 mm

The case of this Thunderbirds watch is stainless steel with a gold-tone finish, and it sits on a round 42 mm frame just 8 mm thick, topped with a mineral glass. It is a men's watch with a plain white dial and analogue display, one of those pieces that looks more grown-up than it has any right to.

What is inside and what you hold

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, which keeps the time accurately and asks nothing of you day to day. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it and check the seals while the case is open. The white dial gives the hands a clean, high-contrast backdrop, so a glance at your wrist is all it takes. The beige leather strap measures 20 mm between the lugs, which is the number to keep in mind if you ever want to try another strap. Leather like this softens and develops a patina with wear, so it rewards a little care, and the best care is keeping it away from water.

Fit and water resistance

At 42 mm, the case suits most men's wrists, and if you are unsure, our watch size guide will help you decide. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, so splashes, rain and hand washing are fine, while showers, baths and swimming are not.

On the wrist, the gold-tone case and soft beige strap make a warm pairing that goes well with shirts, knitwear and weekend clothes alike. It is a watch you will reach for on days when you want something quietly noticeable, and it also makes a thoughtful gift.
