The Stowa Marine Original is a watch I’ve had my eye on for some time. I particularly like the clarity and readability of the watch face, which is based off old German naval observation clocks. Last year, Stowa produced a limited edition version with a new color scheme in my favorite color: black. The stainless steel case has a brushed finish and the crown bears the Stowa logo.

Inside the watch you’ll find a hand wound Unitas 6498 movement with blue screws and Geneva stripes, all of which are visible through the sapphire crystal back.
