Eichmüller men's watch 38 mm brown leather strap

Plenty of quartz watches tell the time and little else. This Eichmüller is a step up in character: a white dial set in a gold-tone case, paired with a brown leather strap that looks better the longer you wear it. It is a round men's watch with a 38 mm case, a size that sits neatly on most wrists without looking either dainty or oversized.

What is inside and what protects it

The movement is a Miyota 2035 quartz, the kind of mechanism you can forget about. There is nothing to wind and no daily fuss, you only change the battery from time to time. The white dial keeps the reading clear and quick, and a mineral glass covers it. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, which means rain, splashes and handwashing are no problem. Keep it out of the pool and the sea, though, as it is not meant for swimming.

How it feels on the wrist

The strap is real leather in a warm brown. It softens as you wear it and slowly takes on a patina of its own, so no two watches end up looking quite the same. To keep it in good shape for years, try not to get it wet. The gold-tone case catches the light and gives the watch some presence, so it will not go unnoticed in a meeting or across a table. If you like this style, you will find more like it among our men's leather strap watches.

It is an easy watch to live with: smart enough for the office, relaxed enough for a weekend lunch, and simple to wear every single day.
