Men's watch Eichmüller black leather strap 40 mm white dial

The stainless steel case of this Eichmüller is kept to just 10 mm thick, and across 40 mm it has the quiet, rounded profile of a proper dress watch. Add the white dial and the black leather strap and you have a watch that looks at home with a shirt and tie.

What the dial tells you

The white dial gives the hands plenty of contrast, so the time reads at a glance. A 24-hour indication sits alongside it, which makes it easy to tell day from night. It is an analogue display, with no clutter to get in the way.

The movement inside

Inside is a Seiko VD32 B quartz movement, chosen because it keeps accurate time without any looking after. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can swap it for you and check the seals while the case is open, which is a sensible habit with any watch.

Case and water resistance

The case is stainless steel in a silver tone, topped with mineral glass. At 40 mm it suits most men's wrists comfortably. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, so rain and everyday splashes are no trouble, but it is not meant for swimming.

The strap

The black leather strap will soften and develop character the longer you wear it, and it will last far better if you keep it away from water. The gap between the lugs is 20 mm, worth noting if you ever want a spare strap. If you like this style, you can browse more men's leather strap watches in the shop.

Day to day, this is an easy one to live with. It suits the office, but it relaxes just as well into a weekend outfit, and it also makes a thoughtful gift, since it arrives in a presentation box.
