Amazon.com Product Description
This Stuhrling Admiral men's watch presents a stately appearance that is at home in any Admiral's stateroom. The large 40.8-millimeter, surgical-grade stainless-steel, square case sports a hydraulic sun-ray design, jet-black dial with luminous sword-blade style, rose-tone hour and minute hands. Protected by a curved Krysterna crystal, the face boasts individually applied, rose-tone Arabic numerals at odd markers, and baton indices at even hour markers with a triangular marker at 12 o'clock. The black plated crown, and stainless-steel bezel with raised chapters and minute markers finish off the lustrous centerpiece. This superlative chronometer is showcased on a 22-millimeter, black rubber strap that features a net design, and a rose-gold-plated, stainless-steel clasp with safety latch. As resilient as it is refined, this analog watch runs on a Swiss quartz movement with quick-set date complication 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

Very, very, very Niceee
I collect watches and I am always on the look for new additions to my collection. I have herd of this watchmaker but never looked for it until last week and found this steal of a watch. I paid $ 99.00 for it and free shipping.The watch is impressive, nice size, the combination of stainless steel, rubber strap and rose gold with a jet black dial plus and orange seconds hand makes it look like a wery expensive watch. The strap is adjustable and to my surprise the specs in Amazon said it was a buckle system, it also saiys that it is automatic, well it is not, it is Swiss quartz; the good part is that the strap has a deployment clasp with a foldover seconday clasp for added security. It can fit a very large person; you have to cut the rubber strap to fit it but it is very simple, do it yourself or take it to a shop; for the price you can't go wrong.

NICE WATCH
Este reloj definitivamente es mas lindo verlo personalmente que en fotos es un reloj grande, con muy buenos acabados. Todos mis amigoa me preguntan por el ya que parece un reloj mas costoso. Me encanta es mi segundo reloj stuhrling y estoy muy feliz con su calidad.

I love this watch...so much I bought two
I purchased my first "Admiral" two years ago. I absolutely love it. I have gotten so many compliments from friends and strangers asking where I got it from,how iteresting it looks and how much they like it. It certainly is not ordinary looking. The Rose gold and black squared design are very stylish and the rubber strap very comfortable to wear. The black bezel and the black face have a sunburst ray design. The seconds are marked on the black bezel. The crystal is made of Krysterna and does not scratch easily. My original "Admiral" is going strong on the same battery after two years of wearing daily, and the crystal hardly has any scratches despite being banged frequently in my work.
Knowing this model is no longer being manufactured (according to Stuhrling), I wanted to have another on hand, I got both the black face with Rose gold and the white face which has the sunburst and the bezel silver toned with sunburst.
I LOVE this watch.
