Eichmüller watch for men 40 mm black faux leather strap

On a busy morning, you are standing at the bus stop or the kitchen counter with a coffee, and a quick glance at your wrist tells you how much time is left. That is the sort of morning this Eichmüller is made for: a men's quartz watch with a 40 mm round case, a silver-tone dial and a black faux leather strap.

Reading the time

The silver dial keeps things clear and uncluttered, with analogue hands and plain hour markers. Both the hands and the markers carry a luminescent coating. Once they have taken in some light during the day, you can still read them in a dim room or on the walk home after dark.

What is inside

The movement is a quartz TMI PC21, so there is nothing to wind and nothing to set aside time for. When the battery eventually runs down, you simply replace it. The case is metal in a silver tone and is topped with a mineral glass.

Size and water resistance

At 40 mm across and 9 mm thick, the case is a standard size for a man's wrist and slips easily under a shirt cuff. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers rain and hand washing. It is not meant for showers, baths or swimming, so take it off before any of those.

The strap

The strap is black faux leather, 20 mm wide, and a wipe with a damp cloth is all it needs to look tidy again. If you like this look, you can browse more men's watches with a leather-style strap in the shop.

Day to day, it sits comfortably between smart and relaxed. Wear it with a shirt or a suit at work, then keep it on for the weekend with a jumper and jeans. It is an easy watch to pick up each morning without a second thought.
