Invicta Men’s II Collection Extra Slim Watch #3424 Stylishly spare and modern, this Invicta stainless steel men’s watch offers an extra-slim watch case–measuring just 4.5mm thick (0.18 inches). The large, round watch case offers a satin-finished bezel that frames the two-tone dial face–with black in the middle surrounded by patterned gray. It also features Tritnite luminous-tipped stick markers and baton hands, a seconds subdial, and a date window at 6 o’clock. It also features a genuine calf leather strap with white contrast stitching, Swiss quartz movement, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 30 meters (100 feet)–enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming.
Tritnite is a luminous material with an extended glow exclusively developed by Invicta in Switzerland and added to their timepiece hands and markers. When exposed to regular daylight, it will hold its glow for about 20 hours.
About Invicta Latin for “invincible,” Invicta was founded in La Chaux-de-fonds, Switzerland in 1837 by Raphael Picard, who believed that fine Swiss timepieces could be offered at modest prices. For more than a century, the company has created distinctive manual and automatic-winding pieces. In 1991, descendants of the Picard family reaffirmed the company’s founding principle, and the invigorated Invicta has been growing ever since with one of the most widely diverse collections of precise Swiss timepieces on the market. Customer Review: You won’t even know you’re wearing it. It really is minimalistic both in function and physicality, but stays classy. A very light and even thinner than expected watch that just tells time and is super comfortable. This watch is perfect for someone who wouldn’t or doesn’t normally wear a watch. It also does really well with contemporary styles of dress: dark colors, textured fabrics, and looser fits.

Bulova Men’s Watch #98H41 Bulova brings the classic chronograph into the 21st century with this thoroughly modern chronograph watch for men. This black stainless steel watch has a tall rectangular case that’s topped by a smooth black-plated bezel. The highly stylized black dial offers three chronograph subdials (chrono minutes, seconds, and 24-hour) and it features a mix of silver angular markers and italicized Roman numerals. It’s further accented by silver dauphine hands (with black seconds hand) and a red Arabic numeral 30. The dark gray stainless steel bracelet band is smoothly integrated into the case, and it tapers gently as it winds around your wrist. This precise quartz timepiece also features a scratch-resistant mineral crystal and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).
About Bulova The beginnings of the Bulova Watch Corporation can be traced to a small jewelry store opened on Maiden Lane in New York City in 1875 by Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant from Bohemia. In 1911, Bulova began manufacturing boudoir and desk clocks, along with fine pocket watches, which he made and sold in unprecedented numbers. During World War I, wristwatches were issued in the military for their greater convenience. Returning veterans brought them home, and a new fashion was created. In the 1950s, Bulova developed the Accutron, the first electronic watch, which was accurate to keeping time to within two seconds a day. During the 1960s, NASA asked the company to bring its timing expertise to computers for the Space Program. A Bulova timer was placed on the moon’s Sea of Tranquility to control the transmissions of vital data through the years.
At the heart of each Bulova watch is precision accuracy. From the finest quartz movements to alternative technologies such as solar or mechanical energy, each Bulova watch is guaranteed to be accurate to within one minute a year.

Skagen Women’s Studio Leather Watch #527SGLE Step into high fashion with this playfully decorous gold-tone Skagen stainless steel women’s watch, which is highlighted by a sparkling bezel filled to the brim with Swarovski crystals. Manufactured in Austria, Swarovski crystals are machine-faceted, optically pure, and made of 32 percent lead, producing a highly refractive quality. This mid-sized square watch case measures 22mm (0.9 inches) wide and an amazing 4mm (0.16 inches) thick. It has a mother-of-pearl dial face with gold-tone baton hands and Arabic numeral markers. It’s topped off by an elegant pearlized napa leather strap in light green that tapers slightly and is accented with gold zig-zag stitching along the sides. Other features include a scratch-resistant mineral crystal and precise Japanese quartz movement.
All Skagen stainless steel watch cases and bands are constructed from durable 100 percent solid stainless steel, and is nickel safe and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin. This watch is backed by Skagen’s limited lifetime warranty, which covers all parts except strap, crystal and battery.
About Skagen Named after a fishing hamlet in Denmark on the northern tip of the Jutland peninsula, Skagen Designs was founded by Henrik and Charlotte Jorst in 1991 after the two Copenhagen natives moved to New York City. The company subscribes to the principle that beautifully designed, high-quality objects can be created at reasonable prices. Skagen watches represent the technical excellence, refined design and operational simplicity that have created the unique reputation of Danish design.
The fishing village of Skagen–the Skaw–lies where the northern-most tip of the Danish peninsula known as Jutland bends East and breaks the surging waters of the Kattegat and Skagerak seas. The spectacular natural beauty of the area is compellingly beautiful, and its white sandy beaches have been visited by artists for centuries. Customer Review: disappointed with defective item I received this watch fairly quickly with priority USPS shipping. It came in a flimsy padded envelope, without the usual Skagen watch box. When I opened it, the watch had obvious defects in the strap (the leather was wrinkled and discolored). It was advertised as a new in the box product, not used or defective. I have requested a return authorization # as per their instructions, and because it was not my fault, I asked for a UPS prepaid label to return it to them. Also, I now notice that the company only offers replacements, if it is defective. That’s not fair. So far, no response from customer service, though. I probably will never order from them and tell my friends and family not to either….
