Eichmüller women's watch blue leather strap 37 mm

If you are the sort of woman who reaches for the same dependable pieces every morning, a good jacket, a pair of well-worn jeans, a watch that never feels like too much, this Eichmüller is likely to suit you. It has a calm, warm character, built around a brown leather strap that softens against the wrist and a blue dial that stays easy to read whatever the light.

At 37 mm across and 9 mm thick, the round case sits neatly on the wrist without shouting for attention. It is made of stainless steel, in a silver tone that works as happily with denim and a knit as with a little black dress. Seconds are shown in their own small sub-dial, a lovely watchmaker's touch on a design that otherwise keeps things simple. If you enjoy the cool shine of this finish, you will find more like it in our women's silver-tone watches.

Inside is an Epson VL58 quartz movement, accurate and undemanding, so all it will ever ask of you is a new battery now and then. There is also a date display, handy for those mornings when the week has run away from you. The crystal is mineral glass, and the strap is 20 mm wide.

The watch has water resistance of 5 ATM, which is plenty for rain and the odd splash at the sink. Take it off for swimming, though. It also arrives in a presentation box, so if you are choosing it for someone else, or treating yourself, it is ready to be given.
