Most basic quartz watches run on an unnamed movement and show only the time. This Eichmüller is a step above: it uses a Seiko VD78 quartz calibre, a black dial with a small separate seconds counter, and a stainless steel case of 41 mm. It is one of our men's leather strap watches.
The black dial is easy to read at a glance. Seconds run in a small off-centre counter, so the main hands stay uncluttered. The Seiko VD78 keeps steady time without any attention from you. When the battery weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time.
The silver-tone case is stainless steel, which resists corrosion. It measures 41 mm across and 8 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists. The mineral glass protects the dial through daily knocks. Water resistance is 5 ATM, enough for rain and splashes. Take it off before swimming.
The strap is black leather that softens and develops a patina with wear. Keep it away from water so it lasts. The width between the lugs is 20 mm, worth noting if you ever want a replacement strap.
With its leather strap, this watch fits easily with office clothes and works just as well at the weekend. It is a watch for every day, and it also makes an easy gift.
