Eichmüller men's watch 40 mm grey leather strap white dial

This is the kind of watch you strap on in the morning and forget about until someone asks the time. The Eichmüller 40 mm quartz has a white dial, a grey leather strap and a slim 8 mm case, so it slips under a shirt cuff as easily as it sits on a bare wrist at the weekend.

Reading the time at a glance

The white dial gives the hands strong contrast, which keeps the time easy to read in an office, on a train or outdoors. Seconds run in a small separate counter set off-centre, so the main hands stay uncluttered. The case is round, in rose gold-tone stainless steel, and the mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would.

Quartz movement, very little upkeep

Inside is a Seiko VD78 quartz movement. There is nothing to wind and nothing to set aside time for. The only routine job is a battery change every so often.

On the wrist day to day

Stainless steel copes with sweat and everyday damp, and the water resistance is 5 ATM. That covers rain, splashes and washing your hands. It is not a watch for swimming. The grey leather strap softens and moulds to your wrist over the first weeks. Keep it away from water and it will last. The lug width is 20 mm, worth noting if you ever want a spare strap.

At 40 mm it is a standard size for a man's wrist, neat enough for meetings and relaxed enough for jeans. It arrives in a gift box, which makes it an easy present too.
