Eichmüller women's watch gold-tone purple faux leather strap

Most small quartz watches are plain discs on a plain strap. This Eichmüller women's watch goes a step further: a gold-tone metal case set with small cubic zirconia stones that pick up the light, paired with a purple strap embossed in a croc-style pattern.

The dial is white, clean and easy to read at a glance. The sparkle stays discreet, so the watch looks dressed up without turning into a statement piece. Purple against gold-tone is a combination you don't see on every wrist.

The case is round, 32 mm across and 9 mm thick, which suits most wrists comfortably. The strap is 16 mm wide and made of purple faux leather, so a quick wipe with a cloth keeps it looking tidy.

Inside is a quartz movement, a TMI PC21, with an analogue display and a mineral glass cover. It is a simple, dependable set-up, and when the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes.

Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, enough to cope with a passing shower of rain. Take it off before showering or swimming.

It works best for evenings, weddings and dinners, where the sparkle and colour can be seen. If it appeals, you will find similar styles in our jewellery watches for women.
