Wittnauer Women's Crystal Watch #11L13

Bring something special to the party with this demure Wittnauer Krystal stainless steel women's watch, which is highlighted by a shiny gold bezel that twinkles with a full complement of crystals. The cloudy mother-of-pearl dial features Arabic numeral half-hour marks and dotted quarter hours as well as stubby gold-tone hands (sans seconds hand). It's completed by a smooth white satin strap. Other features include a scratch-resistant, curved sapphire crystal, precise Swiss quartz movement, and water resistance to 30 meters----enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming. About Wittnauer Watches After arriving in New York from Switzerland in 1872, Albert Wittnauer became convinced of the need for a watch designed expressly for the growing U.S. market. The result, in 1880, was the Wittnauer brand, manufactured in Geneva with all the functions and durability demanded by the active American consumer. Wittnauer timepieces rapidly became a favorite of navigators, astronomers, geographers and explorers, accompanying polar aviator Commander Richard E. Byrd to both the Arctic and Antarctica. By the early years of the 20th century, Wittnauer chronometers, prized for extreme accuracy, had become essential equipment at observatories and military installations throughout the country. Today's designs draw from this historic lineage, blending luxurious styling with superb craftsmanship and an unmistakably American accent.
