Amazon.com Product Description
This Stuhrling Eagle men's watch features a large, easy-to-read design that is sure to make an impression. The 44-millimeter, surgical-grade stainless-steel, round case sports an unadorned black dial with green-luminous-tipped, skeletonized obelisk-style white hour and minute hands, and a red sweep seconds hand. Protected by a Krysterna crystal, the face boasts green-luminescence-filled, silver-lined Arabic numerals, with Baton indices at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and a triangular marker at 12 o'clock. This simply elegant timepiece also features a brushed stainless-steel, beveled bezel, and a date window at 3 o'clock. This classic chronometer is showcased on a black 22-millimeter, genuine French-leather strap that features padding, double-row stitching, and stainless-steel studs and buckle clasp. As hardy as it is handsome, this analog watch runs on a precise Swiss quartz movement 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

Stuhrling Eagle
This watch is styled after the IWC Big Pilot's model that sells for thousands of dollars. It is quite large and the face can be read from several feet away. The style is quite unique and will definitely draw comments for its size. I like the watch, but it definitely not for all tastes. It appears well made, but the MSRP of $480 is hard to believe.

Well...
The watch itself was delivered in perfect condition. The problem that occured is that quartz mechanism stops every day aprox near 10 p.m. - the marker goes one sec forward and one sec backward (and this happens in loop). This is the only SMALL problem of this watch so far...

UPDATE FROM YESTERDAY: I went to the horologer in order to change the battery. He opened watch - I asked him to check what kind of mechanism it is. Unfortunatelly it was not swiss-quartz as it was mentioned in watch's specification. He described it as chineese movement.

We both thought that problems with switching the date were caused with weak battery - but watch stopped yesterday again after failing with changing day. I am very disapointed with the mechanism...

Great design, good value
I own this watch and am impressed with the quality of the watch for the price. It is a distinctive design, has an easy to read dial and comfortable leather band. I did not find the dial size too large, as other reviews indicated.
