Eichmüller women's watch black leather strap

If you are the sort of person who reaches for black without a second thought, and who likes a watch that looks calm and put together rather than loud, this Eichmüller is likely to feel like an old friend from the first morning. It pairs a black leather strap with a silver-tone metal case and a black dial, a simple combination that quietly works with almost everything in your wardrobe.

The rectangular case measures 24 x 30 mm, a slightly unexpected proportion that gives the watch a character of its own without ever shouting about it. At just 7 mm thick, it slips under a cuff or a knitted sleeve instead of catching on it. The black leather strap is 14 mm wide and, as leather tends to, it softens and settles to your wrist within the first few days of wearing. From a busy day at the office to a table booked for the evening, the black and silver-tone pairing carries on without any need to change.

Inside, the watch runs on a TMI PC21 quartz movement with an analogue display, reliable and undemanding. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. The glass is mineral, and the water resistance is 3 ATM, which is enough to cope with splashes. For showers and swimming, leave it on the dressing table.
