Eichmüller men's watch faux leather strap 39 x 39 mm

Looking for a present for a man who likes things simple and well made? This Eichmüller watch is an easy one to wrap. It pairs a square 39 x 39 mm case in silver-tone metal with a black dial and a black faux leather strap, and it keeps time with a quartz movement (TMI PC21).

A watch he will actually read

The black dial is clear and uncluttered, with analogue display and a sunray finish that catches the light as the wrist moves. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would. At 8 mm thick, the case stays slim enough to slip under a shirt cuff, and the square shape makes a change from the usual round watch. If you like the style, you can browse more men's watches on leather-style straps before you decide.

Easy to live with

The quartz movement asks very little of its owner. The only upkeep is a battery change from time to time. The black faux leather strap is soft and simple to look after, and the width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is worth noting if he ever wants a spare strap. Water resistance is 3 ATM, so rain and hand washing are fine, but it should come off before a shower or a swim.

It suits smart office clothes, yet it is just as comfortable with a casual shirt at the weekend, which makes it a gift that will get worn every day rather than kept for best.
