The sporty Stuhrling Original Men's Sportsmans Concorso D'Italiano Swiss-Quartz Black Watch is powered by a stalwart genuine Swiss quartz engine which presents a classic three-hand arrangement for the simple time and a quick set date complication at the three o'clock position. The large Arabic numerals at twelve and six, as well as the bullet indices have all been individually applied to the hydraulically embossed patterned dial. The sleek sport style hour and minute hands have been treated with Super Luminova and the razor-thin center sweep second-hand features an arrowhead color-coordinated to the minute marker dots. And just beyond the perimeter of the main dial is the outer track chapter ring trimmed with Arabic-numeral minute markers complementing the overall theme of the d'Italiano. The entirety of the dial has been recessed into the classic 46-millimeter round case which has been constructed of the finest grade of stainless steel, 316L. The bezel has been slightly beveled and treated with a mirror high-polish finish like the rest of the casing, and the stout guard rails protect the 7.3mm knurled edge crown. The stylish crown has been embossed and de-bossed with the Stuhrling signature logo, and then polished to an even finish for a touch of detailing that even the finest sports-car would be proud of. With dual ΓÇÿO" rings on the inside of the crown, the d'Italiano allows for water resistance to 50 meters. The crystal that covers the captivating face is Krysterna for durability. And "where the rubber meets the road," is the rubber strap with a patterned design together with a dandy stainless steel buckle that fastens this everyday sport watch to your wrist. When in the closed position, the strap conforms to the buckle and lays flatter and more comfortable on the wrist. Gentlemen. Start your engines.
The Concorso Family is part of the Octane Collection, a series of watches made for those with a strong competitive spirit and a need for speed. These timepieces are inspired by high octane competitive races. The dials and numerals are inspired by the instruments found in racecars.

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...
