Amazon.com Product Description
This Stuhrling Gatsby men's watch presents a look and feel that would be right at home at one of Gatsby's extravagant, lavish parties. The slender 32-millimeter, surgical-grade stainless-steel, rectangular case boasts a hydraulically-stamped silver dial, with faceted blue, alpha-style hands.

Extremely elegant, this timepiece also features a seconds-hand subdial, and a highly-polished stainless-steel, concave bezel. This high-society chronometer is showcased on a black 22-millimeter, alligator-embossed, genuine French-leather padded strap, with a stainless-steel, push-button dual-deployment clasp. With cultivated style that belies its sturdy construction, 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

Great Watch
This is a great looking watch and a great value. Not sure if anyone ever actually pays the referenced retail price, but at $89 it was a terrific deal. The watch is about average size for a man's watch, not too big, but not small enough to ever be mistaken as anything other than a man's watch. It actually looks better thna the pictures on the site - I have bought, and returned a number of watches both here and in the store and think I finally found a good match for me. The closure on the strap is a little tough if you haven't used this type before, but honestly, 1 click on the Stuhrling website gave easy instructions.

Stylish watch at a low price
I ordered this watch on July 3 and received it on July 9. Amazing.
I was afraid the blue numbers and watch handles would be too bright but they are not. Good size. I like the deployement buckle a lot. Easy to use.
I owe quite a handful of watches and this is one of my top 5 favorites.

Over sized watch
This product is beautiful but but too large for my wrist.
I would not have purchased it if I had know how large it would be. It would have help it I could have seen the actual size before making the purchase.
