Eichmüller men's watch black dial brown leather strap

The case of this Eichmüller is stainless steel with a gold-tone finish, 41 mm across and 12 mm thick, topped with a mineral glass that carries a built-in date magnifier. Inside sits a TMI PC32 quartz movement, and the strap is brown leather. It is a men's watch with a black dial and a round case.

Reading the dial

The black dial gives the hands strong contrast. Both hands and hour markers are luminescent, so once they have been charged by light you can still read them in the dark. The date shows in a small window, and the magnifier makes it easy to read at a glance. The rotating bezel works as a simple timer: line its marker up with the minute hand at the start, then read the elapsed time directly.

Movement and water resistance

The quartz movement is accurate and needs no winding or setting beyond the time and date. When the battery runs out, you just replace it. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers rain and handwashing. Showering, bathing and swimming are not recommended.

Strap and fit

The brown leather strap softens and develops a patina with wear. Keep it away from water so it lasts. The width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the measurement you need if you want to swap the strap. If you like the look, you can compare it with other men's leather strap watches in the shop.

On the wrist, the gold-tone case against dark brown leather gives a confident look without being flashy. At 41 mm it is a standard men's size that works with shirts, knitwear or a casual jacket, and it arrives in a gift box, which makes it easy to give as a present.
