Amazon.com Product Description

Whether you’re attending the pre-race social event of the year, sailing your yacht in competition, going to the office or doing your routine errands, The Regatta La Femme from Stührling Original makes a statement of smart elegance and simple grace wherever you are. With its petite 30 millimeter case made from solid 316L surgical grade stainless steel and solid link bracelet, The Regatta provides a feminine and luxurious look that fits just about any woman. Contributing to the elegant appeal is the uni-directional ratcheting bezel filled with magnificent genuine diamonds; at 4.5mm, the bezel is abnormally narrower than found on most timepieces from the diver category. The effect of the slim bezel creates an illusion that the face of the watch is larger than a 30mm case would normally allow. The design on the bezel brilliantly complements the overall look. The dial of The Lady Regatta features a genuine mother-of-pearl “simple dimple” design and Luminova™ filled trapezoidal markers all the way around plus the Arabic numeral for the twelve o’clock position. The skeletonized luminous hands give further support to the Regatta theme and the cyclops for the date magnification sits atop the Krysterna™ crystal at the six o’clock position. The screw-down knurled edge crown protected with guard rails on the case allows for water resistance to 330 feet. The triple row link bracelet with the outside rows of links sporting a brushed satin finish contrasting beautifully with the larger center row being treated with a high polish makes a seamless complement for the case which has a satin finish on top while presenting polished sides! The bracelet is completed expertly with a stainless steel deployant clasp featuring a safety lock emblazoned with the Stührling signed logo.

The Stuhrling Original 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…

Beautiful while Functional

I ordered this watch for myself and although I was expecting a lovely watch I was more than pleased. The watch is not only functional and water resistant – a must for me – but beautiful and elegant. Although it has a slightly larger face than I am accustomed to wearing, the diamond bezel makes this watch almost more jewelry than timepiece. It never goes unnoticed and I am constantly receiving receiving compliments on the piece. Out of the box and onto my wrist and then to the jewelers to remove a link only to have the jeweler tell me what an excellent quality timepiece I had. I already knew it but oh so sweet to have it confirmed but the top jeweler in town!

You Won’t Believe This Watch…..

This watch is so beautiful. I cannot believe that I got a watch of this quality for the price I paid. I have been looking at watches for a year, and many of them were 3x’s this much. The beauty, quality and value of this watch is just fabulous. Needless to say I am extremely happy with this purchase. This a lifetime watch! I had to have some links taken out of the band and my jeweler thought I’d paid at least $1,500 or more for this watch. My secret!
