A striking timepiece with a revealing presence, the Stuhrling Original Men"s 165F.33551 Classic Winchester General Automatic Skeleton Black Watch looks like a piece of mechanical art on the wrist. This watch kicks off with a round 42mm black PVD-coated stainless steel case and a unique textured crown set just above the rim of the case at the 12 "o clock position. These elements surround an awe-inspiring exhibition dial, which is protected by a synthetic sapphire crystal that provides a view through the blue hands, index hour markers and Arabic numerals to the fabulous components of its automatic self-wind movement. A black leather band straps this watch to the wrist, while a black-toned buckle clasp ensures its secure placement. A tremendous watch that has nothing to hide, this Skeleton watch from Stuhrling Original deserves a spot in your personal collection.Krysterna CrystalsKrysterna is proprietary to Stührling Original and refers to the crystals that are used in its timepieces. Krysterna stems from the eyewear industry and has more strength over a spread surface area than sapphire. Krysterna crystals are more scratch resistant than mineral crystals and more shatter resistant than sapphire crystals.The Winchester Family is part of the Classic Collection, timepieces inspired by the classic era of watchmaking. Members of this family feature skeletonized dials that boldly display the mechanical and automatic movements.Summary of Features• Movement: Manual/Self-Winding Automatic MovementAutomatic watches do not operate on batteries. Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made, Japanese-made, and more.Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They"re considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors). • Complications: Classic Three Hand Movement • Dial: Inner Ring with Embossed Markers • Hands: Alpha-Style HandsDiagrams of Features
