You glance at your wrist halfway through a morning meeting, and the time is simply there: a black dial, no clutter. That is the idea behind this Thunderbirds, a quartz men's watch with a 42 mm round case and a Miyota 2035 movement.
The case is stainless steel in a silver tone, 42 mm across and 8 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist that slides under a shirt cuff without fuss. Steel copes with sweat and everyday damp, and the mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which covers rain and washing your hands. Take the watch off before a shower or a swim. The quartz movement keeps accurate time without servicing. When the battery weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time.
The brown leather strap softens and shapes itself to your wrist over the first weeks. Keep it away from water so it lasts. The strap is 20 mm wide between the lugs, which is the measurement to know if you ever want to swap it. If you like the look of leather, you can compare it with other men's leather strap watches in the shop.
Brown leather with a black dial and a silver-tone case sits comfortably with a shirt or a suit, and just as easily with a jumper and jeans at the weekend. It arrives in a gift box, which makes it easy to give as a present.
