I ordered this watch using an Amazon gift card along with my credit card. I received the item very quickly utilizing the Free Super Saver shipping that was offered with te item. I received the watch and anxiously opened it hoping it was as described and it definitely is. The watch is a very classy time piece and since receiving it and wearing it on multiple ocassions I have gotten many compliments on the watch. I also have to say this is a high quality watch and has kept nothing but perfect time. Even though it is an automatic I have not yet had to reset the watch even after leaving the watch sit for a day or two. The watch is great and I definitely will buy the Stuhrling brand again. Very pleased with the item, price, and service!
The watch came in a very stylish, high-end looking package which gave a distinct high quality feeling of the product already when opening. Inside the watch box everything was neatly organized.
The watch itself is mesmerizing to watch. The skeleton mechanics are so beautiful to behold through the glass that you find yourself not looking at the time, but at the watch itself.
If I really have to find something to complain about, it would be that the wristband is a lot more blue than it looks in the pictures. This might also be due to my bad computer screen but it is not any kind of a deal breaker anyway. From the looks of it, I might very well order more Stührling watches.
I highly recommend this product if you want a skeleton watch with a lot of functions for a bargain price!
Great watch! I bought it for myself and love it! Looks sharp and like no watch I have ever owned. The transaction was very smooth and had the watch within 5 days of ordering it.

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...
