Eichmüller automatic rose gold-tone watch for women leather

Turn this Eichmüller over and the story starts on the back: a transparent case back lets you watch the automatic movement (a Miyota 8215) at work. There is no battery inside. The watch winds itself from the motion of your wrist, and the power reserve keeps it running when it rests on the bedside table. After a long break you simply set the time again, and the seconds hand carries on sweeping while you do it.

From the front, it is all about the blue dial, clean and easy to read, with a date window and a round rose gold-tone stainless steel case. At 41 mm across and 12 mm thick, it has the generous, oversize look that is very much in fashion, and the mineral glass keeps the face protected. The brown leather strap, 20 mm wide, is soft against the skin and warms the whole piece up, which makes it easy to wear from the office to a Saturday market to dinner out. If you like the colour, you can compare it with other rose gold-tone watches for women in the shop.

On the practical side, water resistance is 5 ATM, so rain and splashes are no problem, but take it off before swimming. It comes in a presentation box, which makes it a ready-made gift for a woman who likes watches with a bit of mechanical character.
