Eichmüller men's watch 43 mm black faux leather strap

At 43 mm across and 12 mm thick, this Eichmüller has real presence on the wrist. It suits medium to large wrists best, and if you like a watch you can see and feel without it becoming bulky, the proportions are a good place to start. It is a men's quartz watch with a round metal case in a silver colour, a black dial and a black faux leather strap.

Reading it at a glance

The black dial keeps things clear, and a small window shows the date. The hands and the hour markers are both luminescent, so after a little time in the light they stay readable when it gets dark. Inside sits a Miyota 2115 quartz movement, which keeps good time and needs no winding or adjusting. When the battery eventually runs down, you simply replace it. The mineral glass over the dial resists scratches better than plastic would.

Strap and everyday limits

The faux leather strap is soft against the skin and easy to look after. The gap between the lugs is 24 mm, which is the measurement to have in hand if you ever want to fit a different strap. Water resistance is 3 ATM, so rain and handwashing are fine, but showering, bathing and swimming are not. If you like the look of a leather-style strap, you can see more in our men's leather strap watches.

Day to day, it sits comfortably with a shirt or a suit, yet it is just as happy with a jumper and jeans at the weekend. It is the sort of watch you put on in the morning and stop thinking about, which is rather the point.
