Eichmüller diver men's watch steel bracelet 43 mm black dial

Early in the morning, the sea is cold, and you glance at your wrist to check how long you have been in. On the Eichmüller diver, a quick turn of the bezel is all it takes to start counting. This is a 43 mm men's watch with a black dial, a steel case and a steel bracelet, rated to 20 ATM water resistance.

Reading it at a glance

The black dial gives the hands strong contrast, and both the hands and the hour markers are luminescent, so they stay readable in the dark once charged by light. A date window sits on the dial, with a magnifier built into the crystal to enlarge the numbers. The rotating bezel works as a simple timer: line its marker up with the minute hand when you start, and the elapsed time reads straight off the bezel. Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time steady with no winding.

Case and water

The stainless steel case measures 43 mm across and 12 mm thick, so it has real presence on the wrist. If your wrist is on the slim side, have a look at our watch size guide before you choose. The crown screws down onto the case, so screw it fully back in after every adjustment and always before going in the water. After a swim in the sea, a rinse in fresh water helps look after it, and it is wise to have the water resistance checked from time to time.

Bracelet and clasp

The silver-tone steel bracelet is made of links and is 20 mm wide. To shorten it, you remove links, and the size guide explains how. Keep the spare links in case you need them later. The deployant clasp has a safety catch, so it will not open by accident when you knock your wrist on a rock or a door frame.

Away from the water, this watch fits an ordinary day just as well, from the office desk to a weekend walk, with the steel finish keeping it tidy enough for most outfits.
