Eichmüller ladies' watch gold-tone brown faux leather strap

Looking for a present that feels personal without being fussy? This Eichmüller watch is an easy yes. It has a warm gold-tone case, a pearly dial and a brown strap, a combination that suits a birthday, an anniversary or a treat you give yourself on a good week.

The square case measures 28 x 28 mm, so it sits neatly on the wrist and stands out from the usual round faces. The dial has a nacreous finish that shifts softly with the light, and just two hands keep the look calm and uncluttered. The case is metal and only 8 mm thick, which means it slips under a cuff without a fuss.

The strap is brown faux leather, soft against the skin, with a croc-style grain that adds a smart touch. It is 16 mm wide and works as well with jeans and a jumper as it does with office tailoring. If you enjoy the warm metal tone, have a look at our gold-tone watches for women to find company for it in the jewellery box.

Inside is a quartz movement, the TMI PC21, which keeps accurate time and needs no attention from you. A mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is 3 ATM, enough to cope with splashes, but it is not meant for the shower or for swimming, so take it off before you head for the water.
