Eichmüller white watch for women silver-tone metal bracelet

Some watches ask for attention and others simply fit into your day. This Eichmüller women's watch belongs firmly to the second group: light enough to forget you are wearing it, tidy enough to go from a morning meeting straight to dinner without a change of plan.

The dial is white, bright and uncluttered, so reading the time is a glance rather than a task. Its analogue display keeps things calm, and the contrast against the silver-tone case gives it a clean, polished look that never feels fussy.

The rectangular case measures 19 x 24 mm, a slim, slightly unexpected proportion that sets it apart from the usual round faces. At 8 mm thick, it sits neatly under a cuff or a knitted sleeve. The case is metal, finished in the same silver tone as the bracelet.

That bracelet is made of metal links and is 12 mm wide, which suits the delicacy of the case. Silver-tone shades pair easily with almost anything in your wardrobe, from tailoring to denim, and with whatever jewellery you already wear. If you like the look, you can browse more silver-tone watches for women and compare styles at your leisure.

Inside, a quartz movement (TMI PC21) keeps time accurately and asks nothing of you, and the crystal is mineral glass. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which covers splashes and the odd shower of rain. It is not meant for showering or swimming, so take it off before you get in the water.

Understated and easy to wear, it also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who prefers quiet good taste to anything showy.
