Stuhrling Concorso Automatic in Brown or Black – $89.00 (final sale for both)
These are Final Sale, so, no returns. Available through the Nordstrom owned Flash-Sale HauteLook.com
UPDATE: Looks like they sold out via HauteLook. there’s some on Amazon
Couple things about Stuhrling watches. They’re big, they’re usually Chinese, and they’re affordable as hell. Ignore the “retail” price of $595 on these. But under $100 for an automatic with some sporty looks is worth a mention.
These have less of a throw-back look than the Tuskegee Skymaster, but they seem to be close cousins. Despite the HauteLook description saying they’re quartz, it clearly says “automatic” on the dial. And, uh… y’know, the skeleton case-back shows the movement/oscillating weight. Amazon has similar models
Are they the classiest looking thing in the world? No. They’re a sporty, larger (listed at 44mm), inexpensive watch. Maybe worth a look if you want to try out an automatic, want something more bold than a Seiko 5 Canvas
On a side note: The Skymaster is doing great. It doesn’t hold power for more than a day and a half when stationary, but charging it up doesn’t take much in the morning or at night. Still wear it, still like it, don’t anticipate that changing.
So would you wear one of these “Concorso” watches? Or is the size and design too in-your-face? Leave it all below.
I would not. Although it’s pretty cheap I don’t like the style. Not subtle and refined enough for my taste.
I love my concorso GT. It was an amazing price for an automatic that looks great and always garners compliments. It is a little big, but that was the whole reason I bought it.
For a casual watch, yep. Good price for an automatic. Not crazy about the large 12 & 6, but I could get past that.
Too big more my taste. Not a fan of big “in your face” watches.
The Skymaster to me appears less “cheap” looking. The Seiko 5 Canvas definitely a nice looking watch as well.
Hell to the yes.
Looks exactly like a Chopard Mille Miglia Grand Turismo XL auto (not chrono)
Yep. My sturhling has held up just fine and I think they “wear” smaller than they are.
It looks pretty nice but I like my omega better 😀
i’d jump on it if it were smaller.
Same design style, but quartz:

I think it looks refined in black. I ordered one. I normally wear a Tag Formula One which is 41mm so at 44mm it doesn’t seem huge to me.
Size is too big, and the styling is too sporty for my tastes. The Tuskegee Skymaster was better-looking, or at least it appeared to have a more thought-out design aesthetic. Plus I’m not crazy about Stuhrling’s reputation (or lack thereof) for quality control and customer service.
No. That thing is ugly.
I have a Stuhrling (actually its the only watch I wear, I just switch out the bands), forgot the model but it is much more refined than the one pictured, and garners ALOT of compliments. People think its more expensive than it actually is. All depends on the model..
Love this. Brown colour is awesome with casual attire, while black colour is good with formal wearing.
