Eichmüller men's watch black leather strap

What lifts this Eichmüller above a plain black-and-silver watch is the care in the details: a Miyota GM12 quartz movement, a date window and 5 ATM water resistance, all in a slim 9 mm round case. It is a men's watch that feels a little more considered than most.

Reading the time, and the date

The black dial gives the hands a strong contrast, so a quick glance is all you need, whether you are in a meeting or on a crowded platform. A small window shows the date, which is the one extra you will actually use every day. Under the hood, the Miyota GM12 quartz movement keeps accurate time without any winding or fuss. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time. The mineral glass over the dial copes well with daily knocks, and the silver-tone case sits comfortably at 9 mm thick, slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff.

The black leather strap and how to treat it

The strap is black leather, and it does something a rubber or steel band never will: it softens and develops its own character the longer you wear it. To keep it looking good for years, keep it away from water. The watch itself is rated to 5 ATM, which means rain, splashes and hand washing are no trouble, but it is not made for swimming. If you like the look of this one, you will find more in our men's leather strap watches.

Day to day, it fits wherever you are going. It looks at home with a jacket at the office and just as easy with a jumper and jeans at the weekend, a watch you can put on in the morning and not think about again.
