Watch for men Eichmüller 41 mm blue leather strap

Most blue-dial quartz watches stop at telling the time. This Eichmüller goes a little further: a rotating bezel, a date magnifier and luminous hands and indexes, all in a 41 mm round case in silver-tone stainless steel, paired with a blue leather strap.

What the dial offers

The blue dial keeps things easy to read, and the date sits in a window that the magnifier on the glass enlarges. Hands and indexes are luminescent, so once they have charged in the light they remain legible in the dark. The rotating bezel works as a simple timer: line its marker up with the minute hand and you can read off the time elapsed afterwards.

Movement and case

Inside is a TMI PC32 quartz movement, which keeps reliable time without any attention from you. When the battery weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. The stainless steel case measures 41 mm across and 12 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist, and the mineral glass protects the dial through daily wear. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers rain and hand washing but not showers, baths or swimming.

The leather strap

The blue leather strap is 20 mm wide. Like any good leather, it softens and takes on character with wear, and it lasts longer if you keep it away from water. If you like this style, you can browse more men's watches on a leather strap.

This is a watch you can wear every day, at work or at the weekend, and the leather strap sits well with a shirt or a suit. It arrives in a presentation box, which makes it a tidy choice for a gift.
