Eichmüller diver men's watch steel bracelet

Stainless steel has a certain cool, solid weight against the wrist, and this Eichmüller diver makes the most of it. The case and the link bracelet are both in silver-tone steel, set off by a black dial, so the whole watch feels dense and well put together. It is a round men's watch, 43 mm across and 12 mm thick, with a quartz movement (Miyota 2115).

Reading it day and night

The black dial gives a clear, uncluttered read. The hands and hour markers are luminescent, so once they have caught some light they stay legible in the dark. The date sits in a small window, and a magnifier on the glass enlarges it. The rotating bezel lets you track elapsed time: line its marker up with the minute hand at the start, then read the time that has passed straight off the bezel.

Built for the water

Water resistance is rated at 20 ATM, and the screw-down crown helps keep the case sealed. Screw it back in fully after every adjustment, and always before going in the water. Rinsing the watch in fresh water after the sea is a good habit, and it is worth having the seals checked from time to time. The quartz movement needs no winding or setting beyond the time and date. You simply replace the battery when it runs down.

Bracelet, clasp and fit

The bracelet is 20 mm wide and closes with a deployant clasp fitted with a safety catch, which guards against it opening by accident. You shorten it by removing links, and our watch size guide walks you through the steps. Keep any links you take out in case you need them later. At 43 mm, the case has real presence and suits medium to larger wrists.

Despite its diving credentials, the look stays understated, so it works as easily by the water as it does in town. It is a watch for every day, at the office or at the weekend, and it would make a thoughtful gift too.
