Eichmüller gold-tone women's watch, silver-tone dial, leather

A watch earns its place on your wrist by being easy to live with, and this one is. The quartz movement keeps accurate time without winding or fuss, a Miyota 2036 inside, and the mineral glass over the dial guards against the small knocks of a normal day. It is rated to 5 ATM water resistance, so a shower of rain is no trouble, though it is not meant for swimming.

The look is quietly polished. The round stainless steel case has a gold-tone finish and measures 41 mm across and 10 mm thick, a presence you notice without it ever shouting. Within it sits a silver-tone dial, soft in tone and easy to read at a glance, with analogue display.

The brown leather strap is 20 mm wide and softens with wear, settling to your wrist over time. It sits comfortably with jeans and a knit at the weekend, and just as well with a tailored jacket at work. If you enjoy the warm glow of this finish, our gold-tone watches for women are worth a look for other shapes and strap choices.

It arrives in a presentation box, so it works well as a gift, whether for someone else or for yourself. A little care keeps leather and metal looking their best, and you can follow our care advice for that.
