Eichmüller men's watch 41 mm leather strap

Stainless steel has a cool, smooth feel on the wrist, and the black leather strap on this Eichmüller softens quickly against the skin. Together they make a round men's watch with a silver-tone case, a blue dial and a quartz movement, a Seiko VD78 calibre.

Case, glass and dimensions

The case measures 41 mm across and 8 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist and slim enough to slide under a cuff. If you are unsure how that diameter will sit on your wrist, the watch size guide explains how to judge it. The stainless steel resists corrosion, and the mineral glass holds up to scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, which covers rain and splashes. Take the watch off before swimming.

Movement, dial and strap

The blue dial is easy to read at a glance. Seconds run in a small separate sub-dial set off-centre, so the main hands stay uncluttered. The Seiko VD78 quartz movement keeps accurate time without servicing. When the battery eventually weakens, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.

The leather strap is black and takes on the shape of your wrist over the first weeks. Keep it away from water so it lasts. The gap between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the figure you need if you ever want to fit a different strap.

The plain styling works with a shirt and tie as easily as with a jumper and jeans, so it can be your regular watch from Monday to Sunday.
