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).• Dial: Skeleton Dial• Hands: Sword-Style Hands• Markers: Individually Applied Square IndicesDiagrams of Features P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); With dedication to the heritage of watchmaking, Stührling Original timepieces appeal to the most discriminating taste at reasonable prices.

u wont regret but....
.... do not expect the quality nor the feel of an authentic automatic swiss watch. However the watch is nice to look at and keeps the time quite accurately. Make no mistake it is a pretty good deal!!

Watch sticks
This watch quit working after 5 months. They want prepaid for shipping of $20.00 Watch only cost $99 to buy with free shipping, they also suggest paying for insurance, that would be 25% of the original cost. Not much of a warranty. Not wether to invest $$ to have it last another 5 months.

Movement is sticky and doesn't wind as well as other automatics
Maybe I got a bad one, but the movement on this watch is very sticky. To the point that you really have to intentionally wind it. I have tried a few Stuhrling Original watches, all have been underwhelming at best even at the pricepoint. This will be my last.

Doesn't wind very well
The other reviews describing the movement as sticking are correct: the watch stopped twice, even after having wound it up twice. I am sending it back & would suggest that people beware--I wouldn't consider it an automatic winding watch.

Love this watch
this watch is what I have been looking for, I've been shopping around for a watch to wear when I go out and this is it, classy and at the same time easy to operate. great price for such a great quality watch

Nice look, not overly effective
Really flashy looking, but I find the side dial can be bumped too easily and time will stop. I'll look down and it'll be three hours behind. Has a 5 star look with 3 star practicality. If you're just looking for "swag" this feels a need. :)

Beautiful Watch
It has been a long time since I had a winding watch (in this case also self winding) and it is great (no batteries to replace). It is durable and a beautiful looking watch. I especially like the glass on both sides so you can see the mechanisms. Now I did but another watch from this brand and did not have as much luck - I am on my second return. I will pass judgement when I see how their return policy works.

Mauvaise qualité
La première montre reçue ne tenait pas l'heure. La seconde faisait exactement la même chose. Elle prend 5 minutes à l'heure.
