Amazon.com Product Description
This Stuhrling RT Jazz men's watch exhibits an Art Deco style that will take you back to the Roaring Twenties and its days of glamour and style. The slim 33-millimeter, surgical-grade stainless-steel, tank-shaped case boasts a hydraulically-stamped silver Guilloche dial with sun-ray design, and blue skeletonized alpha hands. Protected by a domed Krysterna crystal, the face sports individually-applied blue Arabic numerals, a date window at 2 o'clock, and a second-hand trapezoid subdial at 6 o'clock. This exceptional chronometer is showcased on a black 22-millimeter, alligator-embossed, genuine French-leather padded strap that features a water-repellant lining, quick-release pins, and a stainless-steel, push-button dual-deployment clasp. With an endurance matched only by its elegance, this analog watch runs on a 22-jewel, mechanical automatic movement that is powered by the motion of your wrist and is water resistant to a depth of 165 feet.

The Stuhrling Brand Story

With dedication to the heritage of Swiss watchmaking, Stuhrling Original timepieces appeal to the most discriminating taste at reasonable prices. The company has roots dating back to the 1800's when Switzerland emerged as the global leader in watchmaking. Stuhrling Original remains committed to its mission of preserving the high standards set in Switzerland manufacturing all of their fine timepieces in their Swiss-owned factory! Each and every model conveys an inimitable story with extraordinary style. You'll find heirloom selections for both men and women that even the most astute watch collector will cherish and admire.

In the workshops of Stuhrling Original, the unit specializing in mechanical movements, component selection, assembly, lubrication, adjustment and testing creates horological wonders entirely under vigilant attention of Swiss ownership and supervision. It is these workshops that produce the mechanical engines that are famous for meeting the highest existing criteria in there category. Starting with the main plate, the assembly process is performed in several consecutive stages up until anchoring the balance spring, which sets the watch into motion. Assembling a Stuhrling Original mechanical automatic movement comprises no less than 30 checkpoints, spread throughout the assembly process. Adjusting the angle of lift of the pallets, centering the balance-spring, poising the balance are just a few examples of these checkpoints; of which all are designed to enhance the performance of each movement. The movement must meet no less than seven criteria, including a mean variation in rate which is the highest standard in the industry in its class.

Stuhrling Original cases are distinguished by their technical complexity, their high-end aesthetic appeal and the quality of their finish. The watch cases are made from antimagnetic 316L surgical grade stainless steel, an extremely sophisticated alloy designed to stand up to intensive use. The rough parts, known as "middlecases" are blanked from a metal bar using a high-performance press. They then undergo eight successive stamping operations of a strength increasing gradually from 20 to 85 tons. Before each swaging operation, the middlecase is refired at a temperature of 1100 degrees Celsius, so as to temporarily reduce the hardness to a total stamping pressure of more than 400 tons. Finishing the cases then calls for fifteen polishing operations, all performed by hand alternating with nine baths guaranteeing immaculate cleanliness. Other components of the cases, such as rotating bezels or rider tabs also require a meticulous finish. The components of the cases are finally assembled by hand and rigorously tested.

Each Stuhrling Original dial has been designed to enable optimal read-off at a glance, while adding an element of artistic design. Stuhrling Original's dials are blanked from a brass plate and two cylindrical feet are soldered below to ensure security with the movement. Polishing operations, creating special effects through the use of vintage hydraulic German machines, and electroplating are just some of the more than forty operations required to make most StuhrlingOriginal dials. The transparent protective coating is applied in an immaculately clean environment before the various inscriptions are transfer printed using a gelatin pad which takes an impression from an inked block. On many of the dials the hour markers are either individually applied by hand or embossed into the dial and then topped with a special dye. The application of Super Luminova is performed by artisans with a nozzle pen connected to a high-pressure pipe which calls for intense concentration. Once finished, each dial undergoes careful aesthetic scrutiny under extreme magnification, as well as technical testing, to ensure it complies with all predefined dimensions and specifications.

Through meticulous labor, rigorous testing and examination of each timepiece by expert horologists, the vision of the Stuhrling Original timepiece is brought to life inside our workshops, where...

Customer Reviews

Nice looking product - poorly made...
I received the watch a couple weeks ago. When I went to set the time the crown broke off so I did not get to enjoy it. The product is back with Amazon and I am waiting for my refund. It is too bad as the watch was attractive....

Not for me
This was to be a gift, but when I opened the box I found the watch to have a huge clunky face. Sent it back.

Wonderful watch
This is a great watch, especially for the money (80% off). It is substantial in weight, shiny, and comes with a cleaning cloth. The backside of the watch reveals the watch mechanism so you can see how it is "ticking." It is easy to use and the clasp is wonderful - it appears as if you have buckled your watch, but in reality, it is securely clasped which makes putting the watch on and off very easy. This also reduces wear on the band so it will look new for forever. The rectangular face is pleasant to wear and is a nice visual change over traditional watches. Enjoy.
