Description:
Stylish men who hate to be strapped to a schedule--or their watches--will appreciate the classic simplicity and sophisticated flair of the Stuhrling Monarch Pocket watch. This handsome timepiece features a 50-millimeter stainless steel case, a round stainless steel bezel, and a sleek stainless steel fob that easily attaches to sexy silver pocket chains. A strong synthetic sapphire dial window protects the silver-tone vertically lined dial face, which features Arabic numerals at three, six, nine, and 12 o'clock, intricate minute and seconds indexes, and three sub-dials displaying the day, date, and 24-hour clock. In addition, a subtle month display rests at 10 o'clock, and a year display sits at eight o'clock. This classy automatic-self-wind movement pocket watch is water resistant to 100 feet.Get more product details from Amazon

I have the black face version, identical except for color but not currently listed on Amazon.

br /The description does not indicate that updating of the year and month windows is done manually. They are not operated by the watch mechanism but via manually depressed plungers on the edge of the case. Also the 24 hour dial is not adjustable to a different time zone than the main time so is IMO a almost useless feature. This is not noted in the description either.
br /
br /When setting the watch the date and day of week are intended to be set by plungers on the edge of the watch. On mine the day of week plunger will not operate the mechanism so I set the DOW via the time adjustment stem and then set the date via the plunger.
br /
br /The actual watch mechanism is a wrist watch size automatic wind nechanical watch mechanism fitted to a pocket watch case. It seems to be a solidly made stainless steel case but the claimed $1000+ MSRP seems out of line for what appears to be a Chinese movement watch in my opinion.

It's a nice solid watch, runs wells. I like the fact it's self winding ( I thought that was a better solution than batteries). I wish it had a cover and the chain was heavier but overall, I'm very happy.
