Eichmüller men's watch 42 mm silicone strap

The best thing about this Eichmüller is how little it asks of you. Strap it on in the morning, glance at it through the day, and forget about it. It is a quartz men's watch with a 42 mm round case in silver-tone metal, a black dial and a black silicone strap, built for ordinary days rather than special occasions.

Easy to read, easy to use

The black dial gives a clear, high-contrast read, and a small window shows the date. The hour markers are luminescent, so once they have caught some light you can still read the time in a dim room. The rotating bezel doubles as a simple timer: line its marker up with the minute hand when you start, and the elapsed time reads off directly. It is handy for parking, cooking or a quick break.

Quartz movement, no fuss

Inside is a Miyota 2115 quartz movement, which keeps good time without any winding or adjusting. The only upkeep is changing the battery now and then. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would, and 3 ATM water resistance means you can wear it in rain and while washing your hands. Take it off before a shower or a swim.

Size and strap

At 42 mm across and 12 mm thick, the case is a standard size for a man's wrist. If you are unsure how that will sit on you, our watch size guide will help you decide. The black silicone strap is 22 mm wide, copes with sweat and water, and rinses clean in seconds.

It suits a working week at the office as comfortably as a weekend walk or a day on your feet. Dressed down or not, it keeps up without needing any special care.
