Eichmüller men's watch black dial

At 40 mm across and 8 mm thick, this Eichmüller sits squarely in the standard range for a men's watch: present on the wrist, but slim enough to slip under a cuff. If you are unsure how that translates to your own wrist, our watch size guide will help you decide.

Movement and dial

Inside is a Seiko VD78 quartz movement, which keeps reliable time without any attention from you. When the battery eventually weakens, have it changed by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. The black dial gives a clear, uncluttered read, and the seconds are shown in a small sub-dial set off-centre.

Case, glass and water resistance

The round case is stainless steel in a silver tone, a material that stands up well to corrosion. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, so rain, splashes and hand washing are no concern. It is not meant for swimming.

The black leather strap

The strap is black leather, 20 mm wide. Like any good leather, it softens and develops character with wear. Keep it away from water and it will last far longer.

Restrained and easy to forget on the wrist, this is a watch for every day, from the office to the weekend. The black dial and strap with the silver-tone case suit both a shirt and a jumper without any fuss.
