Eichmüller men's watch 40 mm black leather strap

A white dial against a black leather strap is a combination that goes with almost anything, from a navy suit and a crisp shirt to a grey jumper and dark jeans. This Eichmüller men's watch is built around exactly that kind of easy contrast, in a round 40 mm case with a silver-tone finish.

What you get on the wrist

The case is stainless steel, 40 mm across and 9 mm thick, so it sits slim enough to slide under a cuff. If you are unsure whether 40 mm suits your wrist, our watch size guide is a good place to check. The white dial is analogue, and the hands stand out clearly against it, which makes the time easy to read at a glance. The glass is mineral. Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without any winding or fuss. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the case is open.

Strap, fit and care

The black leather strap softens and shapes itself to your wrist as the days go by. Keep it away from water and it will stay looking good for a long time. The distance between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the figure to note if you ever fancy swapping to a different strap. Water resistance is 5 ATM, enough for rain and splashes, but it is best taken off for swimming.

It is the sort of watch you put on in the morning and forget about, whether you are heading to the office or out for a weekend lunch. It also arrives in a presentation box, so it works nicely as a gift.
