Eichmüller diver men's watch steel bracelet 42 mm black dial

Looking for a gift for a man who likes a proper dive watch? This Eichmüller men's watch comes in a presentation box and pairs a black dial with a rose gold-tone steel case and bracelet. It is a quartz watch with a Miyota 2115 movement, a 42 mm round case and 20 ATM water resistance.

Reading the dial

The black dial gives the hands plenty of contrast. Both the hands and the hour markers are luminescent, so once charged by light they stay readable in the dark. Day and date sit in a window on the dial. The rotating bezel works as an elapsed-time marker: line its mark up with the minute hand at the start, then read the time passed straight off the bezel.

Case, crown and water

The stainless steel case is 42 mm across and 12 mm thick, with a mineral glass crystal. If you are unsure about fit, the watch size guide will help you decide. The crown screws down onto the case, so always screw it back in after setting the time and before going near water. Rated at 20 ATM, the watch is built for diving. A rinse in fresh water after the sea helps preserve it, and it is worth having the water resistance checked from time to time. The quartz movement keeps reliable time, and when the battery runs out a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.

Bracelet and clasp

The rose gold-tone steel bracelet is made of links and is sized by removing one or more of them. Keep any you take out, as they may be useful later. The deployant clasp has a safety lock that stops it opening by accident. The lug width is 20 mm, worth noting if you ever want a replacement strap or bracelet.

This is an easy watch to wear every day, at work or at the weekend, and it copes just as well with sport and hiking.
