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 30-millimeter, surgical-grade stainless-steel, rectangular case is plated in rose-gold stainless-steel, and boasts a hydraulically-stamped silvery-white dial, with faceted rose-gold, alpha-style hands. Protected by a domed and beveled Krysterna crystal, the face sports embossed and topped rose-gold baton hour markers and Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock. Extremely elegant, this timepiece also features a seconds-hand subdial, and a highly-polished stainless-steel, rose-gold-plated concave bezel. This high-society chronometer is showcased on a brown 22-millimeter, alligator-embossed, genuine French-leather padded strap, with a rose-gold, deployment buckle clasp. With a 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

the band clasp needs a redisgn
It's a very nice watch for the money, and I am quite satisfied with it, so far. However, I did find the clasp mechanism on the watch band to be confusing and cumbersome. In fact, while I was trying to work it out, it broke! That's within a few minutes of unpacking the watch and trying it on! So I had to run to the store and buy a new leather band.

This is the most dress watch for your money
In my life I've owned many watches. This Swiss watch is one of my favorites. It is finely made, stylish, comfortable, light, secure, easy to use. This is one of the best buys I've found this year. It has a yellowish/copper color from the thin gold plating over the stainless steel case. The watch comes in a large presentation box with many bits of warranty, instructions, etc. It has no day or date, just hour and minute on a small dial below. It is not a mechanical self-winding watch, but a quartz watch. I got mine on an Amazon one day sale for about $112! This is a relatively inexpensive watch with a Swiss quartz movement, but it has style.

Very Stylish
The watch is very attractive, very modern but looks retro. It looks like an very expensive watch, great value for the money.
