Men's watch Eichmüller 42 mm black silicone strap black dial

At 42 mm across and 12 mm thick, this Eichmüller sits as a standard-sized men's watch: large enough to read easily, slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff. The case is metal in a silver colour, round, and set with a black dial and a black silicone strap.

Reading the dial

The black dial keeps the time easy to read at a glance. The hour markers are luminescent, so once they have been charged by light you can still read them in the dark. A small window shows the date. The rotating bezel works as a simple timer: line its marker up with the minute hand when you start, then read the elapsed time straight off the bezel.

Movement and case

Inside is a Miyota 2115 quartz movement, which keeps reliable time without any winding or setting. When the battery runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. The crystal is mineral glass. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Take the watch off before a shower or a swim.

Strap

The strap is black silicone, 22 mm wide, and a rinse under clean water is all it needs after sport or a muddy walk. If you like this style, you can compare it with other men's silicone strap watches in the shop.

On the wrist it works from the office to the weekend, and it copes well with running, hiking and active days out, since the silicone strap and the clear dial are built for movement.
