Thunderbirds men's watch 42 mm red leather strap

Your jacket is half on, and a glance at your wrist is all the time you can spare. On the Thunderbirds men's watch, a red dial in a round stainless steel case makes that glance quick and clear. It is an analogue quartz watch with a 42 mm case and a red leather strap.

Reading the time

The dial is red, set against a silver-tone case, so the hands and the dial are easy to tell apart. The display is purely analogue, with nothing to scroll through or set apart from the time itself.

The movement inside

Inside sits a Miyota 2035 quartz movement. It keeps steady time and needs no winding or regular adjustment. When the battery eventually runs down, you simply have it replaced.

Case and size

The case is 42 mm across and 8 mm thick, which suits most men's wrists without sitting heavily. If you are unsure how that will look on you, the watch size guide is a useful place to check. The case is stainless steel, which resists corrosion, and the crystal is mineral glass. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes and rain, so take the watch off before a shower or a swim.

The red leather strap

The strap is red leather, 20 mm wide, and it softens and takes the shape of your wrist as you wear it. Keep it away from water and it will stay in good condition for longer.

This is a watch for ordinary days, at the desk or out at the weekend. The leather strap sits comfortably with office clothes, and the red adds a quiet note of colour without shouting.
