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

The first thing you notice on this Eichmüller is the square case, 39 x 39 mm and only 8 mm thick, made of metal in a silver colour with a mineral glass over the dial. It is a men's quartz watch with an analogue display, and it feels as tidy as it looks.

A dial that catches the light

The dial is silver with a sunray finish, so it shifts and glints as your wrist moves. That brushed-light effect also gives the hands a clean, contrasting backdrop, which makes the time quick to read at a glance.

Quartz movement, no fuss

Inside is a TMI PC21 quartz movement, chosen for steady timekeeping without any winding or regular servicing. When the battery eventually runs low, have a watchmaker replace it. They can check the seals at the same time, which is worth doing on any watch.

Built for daily knocks, not for swimming

Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM. That covers splashes and a rainy walk to the station, but showers, baths and swimming are best kept well away from it. The square shape is a pleasant change from the usual round cases and sits neatly under a cuff.

On the wrist

The strap is black faux leather, 20 mm wide, soft and easy to wipe clean. Its dark finish pairs well with a shirt or a suit, and the silver tones keep things understated. If you like the look and want to compare similar styles, have a browse through our men's watches with leather-style straps.

For everyday wear, this is an easy one to live with: light enough to forget about, smart enough for the office, and simple enough to wear with just about anything in your wardrobe.
