Eichmüller men's watch 42 mm faux leather strap

A white dial set in a gold-tone case, on a black faux leather strap: this is a watch that sits quietly beside a white shirt, a navy suit or a grey knit. The Eichmüller men's watch has a round 42 mm metal case, only 11 mm thick, so it slips under a cuff without fuss. If you like the look of straps like this one, you will find similar pieces among the men's leather strap watches in the shop.

Dial and movement

The white dial keeps things easy to read at a glance, and a small window shows the date. The hands carry a luminescent coating, so after some time in the light they stay visible in the dark. Inside is a Miyota 2115 quartz movement, which keeps steady time without any winding. When the battery runs down, have it changed by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals.

Case, glass and strap

The 42 mm case is a standard size for a man's wrist. A mineral glass covers the dial and copes well with daily knocks. The black faux leather strap is 22 mm wide, supple and simple to look after. Water resistance is 3 ATM: rain and hand washing are fine, but it is not meant for showers, baths or swimming.

Dressy enough for the office and plain enough for a weekend, it suits a shirt and tie as easily as an open collar. The black strap and gold-tone case give it a measured, classic look that does not shout.
