Eichmüller black watch for women 40 mm leather strap

You are standing at the bus stop, coat half buttoned, glancing at your wrist to see whether you have time for a coffee. On this Eichmüller the answer is easy to read. The dial is black, the case is a round 40 mm, and nothing competes for your attention at a glance.

The case is stainless steel in a silver tone, set against the black dial and a black leather strap. That contrast keeps the watch plain and a little dressy at the same time. At 40 mm across it is a fairly large watch for a woman's wrist, so it suits you if you like a watch that is clearly visible rather than discreet. It is 10 mm thick, which keeps it from feeling bulky under a shirt cuff.

The strap is black leather, 20 mm wide. Leather has a bit of give, so it tends to settle to the shape of your wrist after a few days of wear. Black also makes the watch easy to wear from a working day into the evening without changing anything. If you like the silver-tone case, you will find similar styles among our women's silver-tone watches.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so the time is kept accurately without winding or any attention from you. The watch also has a 24-hour display, useful if you like to tell morning from evening at a glance or keep track of a second schedule.

Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM. That covers rain, handwashing and the odd splash. Leather and water do not go well together over time, so it is sensible to take the watch off before swimming or showering, and the strap will stay in better shape for it.
