Eichmüller men's watch 40 mm blue faux leather strap

The first thing you notice on this Eichmüller is the strap: faux leather in a deep blue, embossed with a croc-style grain, soft enough to feel comfortable from the first wear and easy to look after with a damp cloth. At 22 mm wide, it sits neatly against a round 40 mm case in silver-coloured metal, finished with a blue dial that matches the strap.

Size, case and dial

A 40 mm diameter is a standard size for a man's wrist, and the case is 10 mm thick, so it slips under a shirt cuff without fuss. If you are unsure how that will look on you, the watch size guide will help you decide. The analogue dial is blue and easy to read at a glance, even when you are on the move, and the crystal is mineral glass. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Showers, baths and swimming are not what it is made for.

Movement and upkeep

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, which keeps the time accurately with no winding and no servicing routine. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time. Day to day, the faux leather strap only needs a wipe with a damp cloth.

It is a watch made for every day, comfortable enough for the office and relaxed enough for the weekend. To see how it compares, you can browse our other men's leather strap watches.
