Stuhrling Original Men's 366.331516 Tourbillon Viceroyale Limited Edition Mechanical Blue Watch by Stuhrling Original

Stuhrling Original is proud to introduce the Viceroyale Tourbillon, an incredible addition to the Special Reserve Collection. This entire timepiece is constructed using only the finest materials, from the 316L surgical grade stainless steel to the genuine crocodile strap. The dial of the Viceroyale Tourbillon is decorated with a hydraulically stamped guilloche solei patterning, and on top of that, a separate plate that is home to the individually applied Roman numerals. The rotating tourbillon cage can be found at 6 o’clock, and this particular movement was custom-designed for Stuhrling Original; each one of the “arms” takes on the shape of a swan neck or an “S.” And of course the Viceroyale is protected by Krysterna crystals, a material more shatter-resistant than sapphire.

Krysterna Crystals

Krysterna is proprietary to Stührling Original and refers to the crystals that are used in its timepieces. Krysterna stems from the eyewear industry and has more strength over a spread surface area than sapphire. Krysterna crystals are more scratch resistant than mineral crystals and more shatter resistant than sapphire crystals.

The Tourbillon Family is part of the Tourbillon Collection, which includes some of Stuhrling Original's most incredible horologic creations. These incredible timepieces feature elegant and creative case designs with fascinating dial configurations

Summary of Features

• Movement: Manual Mechanical Tourbillon Movement

The hand-wound mechanical movement is perhaps the most classical of movements. It operates exclusively by the daily (or sometimes more often) winding of the crown to power the mainspring (the “heart” of the movement). Unlike its automatic mechanical counterpart, this type of movement does not feature a rotor. The energy source is the mainspring (a spring coiled into a tight spiral) which is wound manually by the wearer twisting the crown, usually in a clockwise direction. As time progresses, the spring begins to uncoil, releasing the energy needed to activate the various wheels and make the movement tick. Without routine winding of the crown, the hand-wound mechanical movement will eventually lose power. Thus, mechanical hand-wound movements usually require daily winding. A hand-wound movement requires greater care than almost all other types of movements because once the mainspring is fully wound, additional tension may cause it to break.

• Complications: Two Hand Tourbillon Movement
