Stuhrling Original Legacy Automatic Mens Watch: The Everyday Dress-Watch

If you want it short:

Following the trend of retro-styled modern creations, the Stuhrling Original Legacy Automatic Mens Watch carefully avoids towards being oversized and thick, which places the watch’s elegant features forefront to the eyes of both the onlooker and the wearer, rounding off cleverly any sharp, awkward edges of any formal outfit that may be there. The gold-toned roundedness of the Stuhrling Original Legacy Automatic Mens Watch is for the modern guy who’s also inclined towards traditional touches. The Legacy from Stührling Original delivers those and lands on your wrist. The Stuhrling Original Legacy Automatic Mens Watch is a vintage-inspired design that also goes with denim and blazers, other options remain leather, chinos and button-ups.

Getting into the details:

The round dial - though tends toward a more simplistic approach, pulls in quite a bit of decoration at the centre. There are Arabic numerals one at every quadrant of the dial with slim, leaf-styled hands waving by. The rest are stick indexes. The partially-open dial between 4 and 8 with a small upward wave at 6:00 is, however; the Stuhrling Original Legacy Automatic Mens Watch‘s real highlight.

A glance at the insides lets you see the watch’s inner workings. Rich accents are everywhere; to see more, flip it over and see through the fully transparent rear. That’s the other side of a watch.

Prime points:

i.    The Legacy Executive is subtly loud.
ii.    It is tough to get a decently decorated movement at this price. It is also more than fairly-accurate and watching it at-work is definitely a pleasant view.
iii.    It’s a showpiece!

The rest:

The Stuhrling Original Watches never fails to catch eyes. It is a clean view to the well-made movement underneath the exposure cutout; all that clean, engraved flat surfaces and moving parts. It’s a subtler version of sexy that doesn’t show too much leg. On the wrist, fits with a presence borne from its build quality and independent from largeness. The ST-90090 movement is a Liaocheng 2650SSZ mass produced movement but decorated at Stuhrling’s in-house facilities. Max loss/gain is about +13 seconds a day. That’s mediocre accuracy but acceptable under urban living conditions.

The Stuhrling Original Winchester Mens Watch breaks the stereotypes on certain grounds and fairly high-end offering a good value, though value is subjective. But its style resonates with the moods and not just the persona.
