Amazon.com Product Description:
This Stuhrling Alpine men's watch exhibits a unique and enticing style that is sure to turn heads. The large 52-millimeter, surgical-grade stainless-steel, round case sports scalloped edges, and a skeletonized silver dial with a charcoal propeller-style faceplate, and luminous cigar-style hands. Protected by a domed mineral sapphire crystal, the face boasts embossed Arabic numerals at 4, 8, and 12 o'clock, and printed five-minute markers. Constructed of stainless-steel, the charcoal chakram bezel, and globular crown with its black-rubber equatorial ring finish off the rarefied centerpiece. This unrivaled chronometer is showcased on a black 23-millimeter, genuine French-leather strap that features contrasted stitching, quick-release pins, and a stainless-steel tang-buckle clasp. As robust as it is exceptional, this analog watch runs on a 20-jewel, mechanical automatic movement that is powered by the motion of your wrist and is water resistant to a depth of 165 feet.

Rating : - Wonderful piece of art.
The pictures on this page do not even begin to show the amazing intricate detail this watch possesses. I received this watch in the mail and opened the ornate box, which in itself is beautifully packaged. My wife assumed I had spent over $1K and pretty upset that I would buy such an expensive timepiece. She thought I was lying when I told her what I paid for it. It's really neat to see the moving parts and gears inside the watch on the front and the back. This is my first automatic watch and I was a little bit hesitant to get one because of the troubles of having to wind it if you do not wear it everyday. So far with this watch, I have not had to wind it at all. I have had it sit on my dresser for 2 days straight and it has kept its time perfectly within two or three seconds . Everyone at work keeps commenting on the looks and uniqueness of this watch. It is definitely a conversation starter everywhere I go, which isn't a bad thing. The French leather watchband is a little stiff in the beginning, but after playing with it for a little while it is much more comfortable and pliable. I have worn this watch for 20+ hours and sometimes forget I am even wearing it. As far as the weight of the piece, it is not too heavy and it feels very solid on my wrist. I am not too worried about scratching the crystal because it is made out of sapphire which is very durable. I can see this watch lasting for years to come and being handed down to my children. This is one purchase that I do not regret in the least bit. I am already looking at purchasing another Stuhrling in the near future. If you are in the market for a new timepiece, don't even think twice about picking this little beauty up!
