The Stuhrling Original Anatol Automatic Dual Time Mens Watch brings forth some impressive technicality, functionality and an unforeseen elegance. Through its design and construction, it proves that it is the watch for the Elite.

The Anatol, although vintage inspired, radiates a feel that can decidedly be called modern. The curved and round stainless steel case with a distinct milgrain-styled texture on the bezel makes it instantly appealing. The massive case is carved out from solid 316L (surgical grade) stainless steel, making this handsome timepiece rugged and strong in its stature and form.

The exhibition case back gives a satisfactory view of the 22-jewel ST-91011 Automatic Movement inside, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and has an amazing, 60-hour of power reserve. The automatic or self-wind mechanism also allows manual winding for the mainspring if you haven’t worn in a while. Else, the movements of your arm are enough; worn for a couple of hours every day, the watch will never need any additional winding.

The case back too, like the top, houses a Krysterna crystal and reveals more than through the skeletonised dial. Stuhrling proves its worth as a luxury watchmaker through the Anatol.

The trend with the slightly oversized, thick men's watch depends completely upon the watch's elegant features. They are prominent in the Anatol but not disturbingly sharp. The visibility of the watch's inner workings is set off by its rich accents on the dial.

The water resistance of the Anatol is up to 165 feet, which means it is absolutely safe for showers and swimming – in fact anything as long as you don’t cross much beyond 100 feet. But then, you need to opt for a different strap. The leather will be plain ruined if in water for too long.

The ANATOL, though just looks like a classic watch, displays dual time, which is definitely a bonus but an add-on that doesn’t conflict with the watch’s overall get-up. Yet, it comes as a striking creation even to the technophile, who might not replace their everyday Smart Watches for this one but keep it aside for a more professional and/or fashionable atmosphere.

Stuhrling’s belief of their watch-making skills developing from their dedication to pure artistry is proved through the Stuhrling Original Legacy. The classic spirit of true watchmaking matched to 21st Century technology brought the Old World twist into an accessory that you can use on a regular basis and without being too careful about it. Entwined every bit with the norms and rules of the new and fast paced world, the Anatol, with its elegant sleekness finds a smooth midway.
