Eichmüller men's diver watch 43 mm black steel bracelet

If you want a proper dive watch that looks the part on dry land as well, this Eichmüller is aimed squarely at you. It is a men's watch with a 43 mm round case in black stainless steel, a black dial and a matching black steel bracelet.

Reading it, timing with it

The black dial gives you a bold, uncluttered read. The hands and the hour markers are luminescent, so once they have caught some light you can still check the time in the dark. A date window sits on the dial, and a magnifier on the glass enlarges the date. The rotating bezel works as a simple timer: line its marker up with the minute hand, then read off how much time has passed. Inside is a quartz movement (Miyota 2115), so there is nothing to wind and nothing to set beyond the time, apart from changing the battery now and then.

Built for water, comfortable on the wrist

Water resistance is rated at 20 ATM, and the crown screws down onto the case. Always screw it fully home before you go in the water, and rinse the watch with fresh water after a swim in the sea. At 12 mm thick and 43 mm across, it has real wrist presence and suits medium to large wrists. If you are unsure, our watch size guide will help you decide, and it also explains how to shorten the bracelet by removing links. Keep any links you take out, as they may come in handy later. The folding clasp has a safety mechanism that stops it opening by accident, and the lug width is 20 mm, worth knowing if you ever want a replacement strap.

Jogging, the gym or a weekend of DIY, it copes with all of it. And when the day moves from the beach to the office, the diver look and the black finish fit in without any fuss.
