Eichmüller skeleton watch for men 50 mm red leather strap

A watch that asks very little of you and still looks the part: this Eichmüller men's watch pairs a rose gold-tone stainless steel case with a red leather strap, and it is easy to wear from the first coffee of the day to the last meeting. The 50 mm case is round, 12 mm thick, and the dial is white with a skeleton opening.

Winding and movement

The movement is a PTS9211 mechanical calibre, wound by hand. There is no battery to think about. A few turns of the crown until it stops, without forcing it, is all the routine it needs, and it becomes a quiet daily habit.

Reading the dial

The openwork dial lets you see part of the mechanism at work, and the hands stand out clearly against it. Seconds are shown in a separate, off-centre sub-dial, which keeps the main reading uncluttered. The display is analogue throughout, with a mineral glass over the dial.

Case and size

At 50 mm, this is a large case, best suited to wider wrists. If you are unsure how it will sit on yours, our watch size guide will help you decide. The stainless steel copes well with perspiration and everyday damp. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain and splashes, though it is not meant for swimming.

The red leather strap

The leather strap softens and takes on your wrist's shape as the weeks go by. Keep it away from water so it lasts. The width between the lugs is 22 mm, the measurement to note if you ever want to change the strap.

For daily wear, it suits the office as easily as a weekend out, adding a measured touch of colour without trying too hard.
