Some watches ask for attention, and some simply fit into your day. This Eichmüller is the second kind: a 41 mm quartz watch with a black dial, a stainless steel case and a black leather strap, ready for the office, the weekend and everything in between.
The black dial gives you a clear, no-fuss read of the time. The seconds run in a small separate sub-dial set off-centre, which keeps the main face uncluttered. The case is 8 mm thick, so it slips under a shirt cuff without catching. At 41 mm across, it suits most men's wrists, and if you are unsure, the watch size guide will help you decide.
Inside is a Seiko VD78 quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without any winding or servicing routine. When the battery eventually fades, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while the watch is open.
The silver-tone case is stainless steel, so sweat and everyday damp are no trouble. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain and splashes, but this is not a watch to swim with.
The black leather strap softens and develops character the longer you wear it. Keep it away from water and it will stay in good shape for years. The lug width is 20 mm, worth noting if you ever want a spare strap.
With its leather strap, this watch sits comfortably alongside a shirt or a suit, yet it is relaxed enough for weekend wear. It also arrives in a presentation box, which makes it an easy gift.
