If you are looking for a gift for a man who prefers a plain, readable watch, this Eichmüller is a sound choice. It is a quartz men's watch with a 41 mm stainless steel case, a white dial and a black leather strap, and it comes in a presentation box.
The white dial gives the hands a clear contrast against the background, so the time reads quickly. Seconds are shown in a separate sub-dial set off-centre. Inside is a Seiko VD78 quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without servicing. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.
The round case is silver-coloured stainless steel, 41 mm across and 8 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist. The crystal is mineral glass, which resists scratches better than plastic. Water resistance is 5 ATM, enough for rain and splashes. For swimming, take the watch off.
The black leather strap softens and takes on the shape of the wrist over the first weeks. Keep it dry to make it last. The width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the measurement to note if you later want to fit another strap. For other options, see our men's leather strap watches.
In daily use this watch suits office dress and goes just as easily with casual clothes, thanks to its restrained look. It is a practical present that needs no occasion to justify wearing it.
