Stuhrling Original Men's 395.33I117 Aquadiver Regatta Champion Professional Diver Swiss Quartz Date Orange Bezel Watch

Rating: 5 stars

When I saw the special 50% off pricing for their deal of the day I couldn't resist and since I couldn't choose among the 5 different colours available I bought 4, leaving out the one with a black face and black bezel. So I'll write my review on all of them but will add specifics where they deal with the colour differences. Otherwise the watches are identical. They are very good looking, rugged watches with real eye appeal. Because of their size and the white numerals and time dashes they are also very easy to read at a glance.

This particular model is a diver's watch so it has a screw down crown and is advertised to be water resistant to 200 meters. Since I'm not likely to ever be down that far unless I'm drowning, I can't verify this but I fully intend to take one of them into the shower with me to see if it survives. The watch is quite large although not oversized and is definitely a heavy, solid feeling item. Anyone picking it up would feel that it was of superior quality. The watch has large numerals at the 4 compass points and also has a small date window. I expected the hands and numerals to be luminous but so far I haven't seen that so it's probably not a feature. The bracelet also feels substantial and has an clasp, a little fold down safety tab and a push-button release for the main catch, all very secure and solid. The centre links are set at a slightly different angle so that they reflect the light differently, giving a two-toned metal effect: very attractive yet subtle.

As do all Stühlings, these came in a beautiful presentation box inside which each watch was displayed on a soft padded cushion, solidly strapped into place for the shipping. The watch was completely covered by cellophane to protect it in shipment and as delivered there wasn't a mark to be seen. I had to have the watch bracelet resized slightly at my friendly watchmaker's who commented on what a nice watch and what a good price. For the past week all 4 have kept perfect time so I'm very pleased with them and look forward to many years of trouble free use.

Like three of the four, this one has a black face with white numerals and hour dashes. The orange bezel looks much more like copper than orange, thank goodness. Unlike the other three, the orange watch also has orange on the hands in the place of white on the others and each of the white numerals and hour dashes around the face is delicately outlined in copper. It's subtle but very attractive and serves to dress up the watch considerably. I really like this watch and am delighted with my purchase.

I purchased this watch as part of my collection. It is my first Stuhrling watch and certainly not my last. It is very well packaged and persented . A quality time piece that I will enjoy wearing and showing for years to come.

At first I was suspect of it being of great quality. I received my watch in about 5 days, which was my first surprise since I thought it would take 2 weeks. It arrived in it's very own special box, the watch is excellent quality! It feels as we like to say "a real watch" not junk... The time is perfect. I really like the number size and outlined design of the numbers makes them very easy to see at a glance, even the time hand design makes this watch very easy to see at a glance.... overall rating...6 out 5.... I love the color too, I have been a medic over 20 years and this has been my favorite watch to date... and I have worn out many!!! So there you have it... a definite 6/5 !!!! The only small complaint is the date is small... but I do not use the date so... still a 6 out of 5!!!
