Eichmüller oval women's watch rose gold-tone black strap

At 20 x 26 mm, this little oval case sits neatly on the wrist without ever feeling like it is taking over. It is a gentle change from the usual round watch, and at just 7 mm thick it slips under a cuff or a knitted sleeve with no fuss at all.

The rose gold-tone case and dial from Eichmüller have a soft, warm glow that flatters most skin tones. Two slim hands keep the face calm and easy to read, and the black faux leather strap, 10 mm wide, gives the pink metallic shade a bit of contrast. It looks as good with pastels and creams as it does with a black jumper, and a quick wipe with a cloth keeps the strap looking fresh.

Inside you will find a quartz movement (TMI PC21), so the time stays accurate without any winding or thinking about it, and a mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which is fine for the odd splash, but it is best left on the dresser for showers and swimming.

It also makes a lovely gift, whether for a birthday or simply as a treat for someone who deserves one. If you enjoy the warm tone, you can browse more rose gold-tone watches for women and see which one suits you best.
