Eichmüller gold-tone ladies' watch metal bracelet white dial

Gold-tone and white is one of those pairings that quietly lifts an outfit. This Eichmüller women's watch looks lovely against a cream knit, a crisp white shirt or a simple black dress, and it sits happily alongside any gold-tone jewellery you already own, whether that's a favourite pair of hoops or a fine chain. The white dial keeps things bright and easy to read without shouting for attention.

The rectangular case is a nice change from the usual round faces. It measures 25 x 30 mm and is just 7 mm thick, so it slips under a cuff rather than catching on it. The metal bracelet is 14 mm wide and made up of links, which means you can shorten it by removing a few until it sits just right on your wrist. If you would like a hand working out your size, our watch size guide walks you through it. From the office to a weekend lunch to an evening out, it fits in without any fuss.

Inside there is a TMI PC21 quartz movement, a simple and dependable choice. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of daily life. The water resistance is 3 ATM, so a passing shower of rain is no problem, but do take it off before you shower or swim. It would also make a lovely gift for someone who appreciates a little shine on her wrist.
