This Stuhrling Clipper men's watch represents the best version of an everyday timepiece in Stuhrling's diver category. The slender 46 millimeter, surgical-grade stainless-steel, round case has a brushed-satin finish, and exhibits a midnight-blue dial, with Luminova-filled hands outlined in a copper-tone.

This chic timepiece also features a copper-tone-layered crown, a stainless-steel, unidirectional ratcheting blue bezel with yellow gold-tone markers to measure elapsed time, and a date window at 3 o'clock. This exceptional chronometer is showcased on a tapered 22-millimeter stainless-steel, brushed-satin finish link bracelet, with copper-toned plated center links, and a fold over clasp with safety with copper-toned plated safety lock. As enduring as it is eye-catching, this analog watch runs on a precision Swiss quartz movement and is water resistant to a depth of 330 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

Swiss quartz without buyers remorse.
This is a great watch for any man of modest means who dreams of owning a Omega Seamaster or similar without going into debt. The watch came in an orange case with warrenty card & return envelope, polishing cloth and a neat "credit" type card verifying authenticity. I am most impressed with the watch itself. The watch markers really do "glow" in the dark just like higher priced diving watches(this is a really nice because so many watch brands advertise "luminous" hands that are anything but!). The date window cyclops is prboably 1.5 x's magnification (not 2.+x's like a Rolex) which is really easy to read without squinting:) Plase read the manual before attemping to set the date/time as the mechanism can be damaged if set during certain times of the day. At first blush the band clasp seemed kinda cheap but the double locking clasp is just fine. I took my watch to a jewler to take out a few links for a perfect fit. The watch is large and will make an impression! The cystel is very clear and resists glare. I chose quartz after reading a bad review for the automatic version of this watch. The jewler who adjusted the band had a $1300.00 Omega Seamaster that I compared to my watch. The band on the Omega was heavier and the clasp is more substantial. But @ $129.00 this watch is a real bargain for the money.

Stuhrling Men's Clpper Divers Watch is Great!
I received this watch as a Christmas present and was impressed right away with the box! Once inside the box, I found my amazing time piece. I could tell right away that it was a very high quality watch. I like the weight, not too heavy, but heavy enough. The blue dial and bezel are striking on the stainless and gold background. Overall, I'm very impressed!

A good looking piece, but lacking in subtlety.
This watch is a good value for the money, but the design is brutal. I like a timepiece with a little more nuance than the Sturling, which is solid, heavy, with a thick band, large dial, and conspicuous knobs.

Even on the absolute tightest setting the band was too loose on my wrist(circumference ca. 8-9 inches). This is a watch for big dudes with wrists like pro-wrestlers and fingers like polish sausages. This is a watch for dudes who don't say "dude". Ever.

The face resists scratches very well, and the construction of the band and clasp is solid. The gold on the band scratches relatively easily, but its not as noticeable as you might think. Time keeping is accurate, battery has a good life-span. Over all, the watch looks more expensive than it is, which is either something that appeals to you or not. I doubt anyone would actually take this diving...
