Amazon.com Product Description

A great choice for globe-trotting business travelers with an eye for high style, this Skagen stainless steel women's dress watch offers a unique dual-time function that enables the wearer to track two different time zones. It has a two-level dial, featuring one dial sitting atop the other (with the bottom dial surrounded by small minute indexes). The small, dagger-style hands and markers have a light gold-tone tint that show off nicely against the brushed silver chrome face. The easily adjustable mesh stainless steel bracelet band adds an elegant texture. This mid-sized timepiece measures 20mm wide (0.8 inches) and 8mm thick (0.31 inches). Other features include Japanese quartz movement, a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)--offering protection from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I Wanted, April 27, 2007

I've been looking for a dual-face watch for some weeks, as my new job requires that I keep track of two time zones. Most dual-time watches are bulky at best and ugly at worst. This new Skagen model is sleek and elegant and I can read both dials easily. The double face fills up the back of my rather narrow wrist, but the Skagen line is known for its slender depth, so the profile is still low. And it's practically weightless on my arm. I know I'll enjoy wearing this watch. The seller gave terrific service -- the product arrived less than 48 hours after I ordered it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish and functional, June 10, 2007

A nice, stylish watch. Since it's 2-tone, it goes well with either silver or gold jewelry. I have fairly small wrists, so the watch is perhaps a bit larger on my arm than a normal watch might be, but it's flat enough so that it doesn't interfere with clothing. I personally like Skagen's simple, yet elegant styling that goes well with anything, dress-up or dress-down. Good price, and excellent, fast service.

I have been searching for a nice dress watch with 2 faces. I travel weekly for work and keeping track of my time zone and home zone is always a mathematical adventure in my head in calling into con calls and meetings.

I find this a beautiful watch and a great time device!
