Eichmüller men's diver watch 43 mm two-tone steel bracelet

The first thing you notice when you handle this Eichmüller is how it is put together: a stainless steel case and a stainless steel link bracelet, both finished in two tones, with a screw-down crown that locks against the case. It is a 43 mm round diver with a blue dial, a rotating bezel and a quartz movement, and it is rated to 20 ATM water resistance.

Built for diving, easy to read

The blue dial keeps the layout clear. The hands and the hour markers are luminous, so once they have been charged by light you can still read them in the dark. The date sits in a small window, and a magnifier on the glass enlarges it. The rotating bezel works as a simple timer: line its marker up with the minute hand, then read off the time that has passed. The mineral glass protects the dial through ordinary days.

The movement

Inside is a Miyota 2115 quartz movement, which keeps reliable time without any fuss. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the case is open.

Case and water care

The case is 43 mm across and 12 mm thick, so it has real presence. If you have a slim wrist, check that it does not overhang. Always screw the crown fully back in after setting the watch and before going near water. After a swim in the sea, rinse it in fresh water, and have the seals checked from time to time.

Bracelet and clasp

The two-tone bracelet is sized by removing one or more links, and our watch size guide explains how. Keep any links you take out. The deployant clasp has a safety mechanism that stops it opening by accident. The lug width is 20 mm, the figure to know if you ever want to change the bracelet.

On a run, in the gym or in the garage, this watch keeps up with you. It is built for every day, from the office through to the weekend, and the two-tone finish dresses up easily when the plans change.
