[.uk] Wittnauer Men's Astor Watch #10E01



Amazon.com Product Description:
A perfect announcement as you enter the front doors of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, this Wittnauer Astor men's stainless steel watch flashes your fashion sense with 30 tiny glittering white diamonds ringing around the bezel. Offering an ultrathin profile at just 25mm (1 inch) wide and 6mm (0.25 inches) thick, the case and bracelet are made from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel. The perfectly circular dial has a silvery mother-of-pearl background, and it's complemented by silver oblong diamond markers, small minute indexes, thin dagger hands (with seconds hand), and a date window at 3 o'clock. The handsome bracelet band is artfully detailed and features a double spring-loaded deployment buckle for comfort and security. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, precise Swiss quartz movement, and water resistance to 30 meters----enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming. About Wittnauer Watches After arriving in New York from Switzerland in 1872, Albert Wittnauer became convinced of the need for a watch designed expressly for the growing U.S. market. The result, in 1880, was the Wittnauer brand, manufactured in Geneva with all the functions and durability demanded by the active American consumer. Wittnauer timepieces rapidly became a favorite of navigators, astronomers, geographers and explorers, accompanying polar aviator Commander Richard E. Byrd to both the Arctic and Antarctica. By the early years of the 20th century, Wittnauer chronometers, prized for extreme accuracy, had become essential equipment at observatories and military installations throughout the country. Today's designs draw from this historic lineage, blending luxurious styling with superb craftsmanship and an unmistakably American accent.


Took me by surprise:
I work for Zales jewelry store in the Dallas area, and I had to go fill in for someone else at another store while they were on vacation. I saw this watch sitting in the clearance case and just fell in love with it on sight. I've had it for six month and haven't had a problem yet. I wear it to work, about five to six days a week, and whenever I have to dress it and I get a lot of compliments about it. I do take almost fanatical care for it though. About once every other week I separate the band from the watch and then clean it. Once a month, I also take apart each piece of the band and clean all the pins separately and put it all back together. Aside from a few stratches, still looks good as new


Terrible:
Worst investment ever. It took me 2 years to finally find a nice watch that I would be willing to spend good money on. After 3 months it broke.
