An impressive example of contemporary Danish design ethos, this black-plated Skagen titanium men's watch features a wide, easy-to-read dial and an amazingly svelte watch case at only 5mm (0.2 inches) thick. The case is made from solid titanium, which is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic--perfect for those with metal allergies. The wide, round case measures 35mm (1.4 inches) and it features a thin bezel that frames a blue dial face. It's supplemented by rounded, diamond-shaped markers, small minute indexes, dauphine hands (with seconds hand), and a round dated function at 6 o'clock. It's completed by a black leather water-resistant leather band. Other features include a super-hardened, scratch-resistant mineral crystal and precise Japanese quartz movement. 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. -- Amazon.com Product Description New for Spring and Summer 2006, Skagen's new titanium Date designs features a slightly oversize 37mm design with a date window at the 6 o'clock . . . .

Nice To Look At, Just Don'T Wear It. -- A nice looking watch, but way too fragile. The glass covering the watch face broke the second day I wore it. Yes, It'S True -- Just like the others who have reviewed this watch, the crystal on mine broke less than a week after I received it from Amazon. I took a short nap and woke up to realize that my watch face had shattered. I did not hit it against anything and there was no excessive pressure applied to the crystal. It is obviously a design flaw and I will ask for a replacement model. No More Achilles Heel! -- When searching for the perfect watch, this one kept catching my eye - aesthetically and practically the best watch I've found. I was worried about buying the watch after reading many reports about the iPhone-like shattering of the crystal. Worry no more! Skagen has replaced the crystal with super-hardened, scratch-resistant mineral crystal. I have owned this watch for 3 weeks now, have not taken it off and have had no problems - that's saying a lot since I am very hard on the equipment. It is so wafer-thin you won't realize its there! The only drawback for me is the large diameter which is still taking some getting used to. Great Watch, Great Price -- First saw this watch on a "special" on a trip from Hong Kong. When I got home, the Amazon price was considerably better. The watch is elegant, super thin, and a very attractive face. It came with a nice guarantee both from Skagen and Amazon. To date, I am a very satisfied owner. Fine For Office Wear -- A decent, lightweight, thin, stylish watch - suitable for the office or out on the town. The band fits like a bracelet versus a "regular" watchband. I've owned it for a few months now and haven't had any problems.
