The world of quality wristwatches is rapidly changing. Many companies out there are intimidated by the multitudinous other ways that people check the time these days.

Every watch that Stuhrling Original produces has something distinctive about it.
In many cases, these watches have a whole assortment of features that set them apart from the pack. Here are a few examples of watches that Stuhrling Original is offering, as well as descriptions of those special features that make them truly, well, original.Stuhrling Original Men’s Heracles Quartz Chronograph Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch

Stuhrling Original Men’s Phoenix Gallant Quartz Chronograph Rubber Strap Watch
The people at Stuhrling Original must have had mythology on the brain when they named their watches. The Phoenix also finds its roots in a Greek myth where a giant bird dies in flames and a new one rises from the ashes. Just like that new bird of legend, the Phoenix by Stuhrling Original is thrillingly colorful.
The Phoenix comes in primarily black, but you can choose exciting dial accents that include green, blue, or red. The case is ionic-plated to help make it extra scratch resistant. To achieve this, the stainless steel case is bombarded with positively charged ions. This chemically bonds the base and the plating, which helps prevent scratches and flakes.
The dial itself is black and has an Arabic numeral at 12:00. All of the other hour positions feature stick index markers in whichever color you choose. The hands are skeletal to reveal the dial beneath, and they move around 3 sub-dials that are located at 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00. This delightful watch clasps to your wrist with a buckle at the end of the black rubber strap. For the ultimate in innovation, you can’t go wrong with the Phoenix.
