Eichmüller black women's watch 41 mm leather strap

You are on the commute in a pencil skirt and a pair of trainers, and you glance at your wrist to check whether you can still stop for coffee. On this Eichmüller, the black dial reads clearly at a glance, and a date window saves you from opening your phone to confirm the day.

The case is stainless steel in a silver-tone finish, round, and 41 mm across. That is a generous size for a women's watch, so it suits you if you like a watch that is visible rather than discreet. It is only 7 mm thick, which keeps it from catching on a cuff or a sleeve.

The strap is black leather, 20 mm wide, and it softens as you wear it. The black on black pairing keeps the look plain and consistent, with the silver-tone case as the only contrast. It works with a shirt and trousers for the office as easily as with jeans at the weekend.

Inside is a quartz movement, a Miyota GM12, with an analogue display. Quartz means no winding and steady timekeeping. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks and scratches.

Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM. In practice that covers rain and splashes, such as washing your hands or being caught in a shower on the way home. It is better to take the watch off before swimming.

It comes in a presentation box, which makes it easy to give as a present. If you would like to compare it with similar styles, have a look at our silver-tone watches for women.
