Eichmüller silver-tone ladies' watch metal bracelet

Most everyday watches are small and quiet, made to disappear on the wrist. This Eichmüller is not one of them. At 40 mm across, the round silver-tone case has real presence, and it is meant for the woman who likes her watch to be noticed rather than hidden.

The dial is silver-tone too, and it does a lot of the talking. Because case, dial and bracelet share the same cool finish, the whole watch looks pulled together, with no clash and no fuss. It is the sort of piece you put on in the morning and simply forget about, in the best way.

The metal bracelet is made of links, and it is 20 mm wide, so it feels solid without being heavy. To get the fit just right, you take out one or more links, and our watch size guide walks you through measuring your wrist before you start. At 9 mm thick, it sits comfortably under a cuff.

Inside is a TMI PC21 quartz movement with an analogue display, so the time is simply right whenever you glance down. The mineral glass is more scratch-resistant than plastic, which helps it stay clear through knocks and bag-rummaging. Water resistance is 3 ATM, enough for splashes and rain, but please leave it on the shelf for showers and swimming.

Silver-tone goes with almost everything, from a crisp shirt to a chunky knit, so it will rarely sit in the drawer. It also makes a thoughtful gift, because it is the kind of watch most women are happy to wear. And if you fall for the look, you will find more like it among our silver-tone women's watches.
