Stowa Marine 36mm

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

As I get older and my tastes mature, this style of watch becomes more appealing. Now my preferred size is 38 to 40mm with a lug to lug no larger the 47mm

[@YoungXLNC]

The small seconds manual wind version of this watch is my next 'big' watch purchase for me. Little bit thinner and like the small seconds on a subtle dress watch. Great video...cheers!

[@Internethotpot]

Agreed. Something about the small seconds version with Roman numerals just looks better proportioned

[@DanTJones]

Now we’re talking. I have 6.3 inch wrists and that looks perfect.

[@finesse49]

I've been tempted but the the decision between Arabic and Roman numerals is a tough one.

[@SmurfPerfect]

I think it would actually work great on you as a dress watch. This Stowa and a black suit would be class.

[@aleskb]

Have a Stowa Flieger 40mm manual wound, one of my only watches that works and looks exactly the same as day 1 after 4 years of use as a toolwatch. Amazing build quality, and the Marine 36 sure is my next purchase from them, but in manual wind!

[@pmwheatley]

Why do you prefer manual wind? I'm considering a bronze marine 36, but can't decide on the movement. I don't have a manual wind only in my collection.

Beautiful watch...Love the Handset.

Beautiful watch... Congrats Shawn - This company has a MTO entry system, thus the wait time. They make the watch for you after you place the order.

[@flemmingsorensen5470]

Absolutely stunning 👍👍👍

[@halfpastblog]

That looks surprisingly good on your wrist. 👍

[@echochambers8418]

Great Review!!Funny,I’ve been looking at German Bauhaus(Max Bill,Nomos,Braun,Sternglas etc) the past few weeks,just yesterday I heard about the Antea from Stowa and saw this Watch as well.I really love the simple utilitarian design/aspect of these watches.

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

I have a few Germans. Junghans , Nomos and Junkers all 3 are excellent

[@scottrockett6382]

This and a Sinn 104 is a perfect 2-watch collection.

[@bagbyhall4386]

That’s hilarious. I am wearing my Sinn 104 (my only watch right now) shopping for this!

Thanks much.

Beautiful piece

[@TimeForAnotherWatch]

Super clean dial and the watch oozes quality.

[@drwindsurf]

Thank Rob & Sean - I can see that I need to buy the larger size for my larger wrists 🙂👍

[@jeremypatin2044]

Love it ;been waiting on this review. Thanks rob!

[@danspanos]

I'm not a big fan of dress watches, but it looks well built, and the dimensions are great! It's still a pass for me. That type of dial just isn't interesting enough for my taste, but I guess everything has its place!

[@thenexthobby]

Stowas manage to make most any other watch look grotesque. Such a clean and classy design.

[@jerrydavis9883]

Rob, interested to get your perspective on this Stowa 36 Marine Roman vs Nomos Orion 35; which would you choose based on everything; price, design, colors, movements, etc.?

[@SchafeyWafey]

Smaller crown (like the 2002 & 2006 versions) and the 'Made in Germany' back on the dial and I would own this already!

[@brafman1]

The crown makes winding the manual versions an absolute pleasure.

[@natedogg5386]

Pure class

[@DisplayKeesBack]

The Time teller told me to go here. So here I am!

[@Cryotix89]

Does the no date version have a ghost date position?

[@hughming]

Looks quite big for a 36mm. I guess it is because of the relatively large dial

[@yusufbest4475]

And the 18mm lug width too

[@runrin_]

the thin bezel makes is look much bigger than 36mm

[@denisdaly1708]

Now that is a nice watch

[@jt6317]

Nice watch how would this compare to a dekla marine both seem similar but the dekla being slightly cheaper

[@pacmanfl]

To my knowledge, the Dekla marine uses the Unitas 6498 pocket watch movement which you can’t stuff into a case less than 40mm. In fact, I’ve never seen a marine deck watch less than 40mm other than this. These type of watches are all dial and wear large. I’ve seen a few 40mm versions that I liked but am sure it’ll look like a dinner plate on my 6.5in wrist.

[@veetour]

They used to have silver dials. Wonder if those are discontinued.

[@WatchAddictionReviews]

stowa was actually sold to a new owner I heard but its still in the same factory

[@aleskb]

I think they integrated a group but keep their technical autonomy, so watches continue being assembled by same team in same assembly.

[@tiguanalex]

The watch is undoubtedly chic. Simple, but at the same time, very high quality made. But why do most people prefer manual winding? Due to 1mm thickness difference? In my opinion, the machine is more practical. I really want to buy such a watch!

[@MJFallout]

It depends on whether you dress formally often or not. The more dressy a watch is, the less often you might actually wear it, and subsequently automatic winding and a date complication might feel more like a chore than a feature.

[@graciousideals1509]

I feel like a dork responding to a one year old comment but screw it lol Mechanical watches to me aren't really practical. They're much more fragile, need more maintenance and significantly less accurate than quartz. If I'm going mechanical, i'm taking the "fun" route with a handwinding. The movement usually looks better, I like the tactile feedback more, and I have complete control over its power reserve.

[@AcmeRocket]

That's really nice!!!

[@Copaindesmontres]

really nice watch, thank you for the review

[@alexeyd6863]

идеальные часы!

[@mechanicrick1733]

I received a Stowa watch in a group sale of watches. I would like to know if it is genuine. Can you help?

[@icas80]

I was debating the 40mm in this

[@RobertOrtiz1015]

The 40mm might be the one for you and your wrist size

[@khronokraze]

I wanted the small seconds version that is 38mm, I believe. But, I don't like they used 18mm lug width. Sure, maybe 18 might be more proportional to the overall dimensions. But, 20 wouldn't have looked bad and of course can reuse 20mm straps which most of us have already if we wanted to . And these watches can be strap monsters to dress up and down. 18mm just seems a bit too dainty, IMHO. Other than that, great made to order German watches from Stowa.

[@aleskb]

You can find plenty of 18mm straps for cheap. Between having awkward proportions to be able to save 30 usd using 2 old straps that fit the watch design, and having 18mm lugs + widening my strap collection, I easily prefer the 2nd option! ;)

[@khronokraze]

@@aleskb I'm not concerned about being able to find 18mm.. I know there are plenty. I have some already. I just find the size too dainty.

[@Enrico-]

@@khronokraze actually there are two 36mm small seconds versions both with arabic and roman numerals which the case identical to the watch in the video but with the Peseux 7001 inside. There is though the 40mm version. Stowa watches are always: 36mm case/18mm lug widht and 40mm case/20mm lug widht.

[@khronokraze]

@@Enrico- I am aware. However, the small seconds versions are only in 36mm and 41mm. Central seconds versions come in 36mm and 40mm.

[@fwfw9898]

If this watch can choose no logo would be perfect

[@TomasWatchReviews]

perfection, I just wish it was manual.

[@aleskb]

They have that option. Each Stowa model comes with automatic or mw options, you configure it on their website ;)

[@laurens4561]

Looks a bit big on your wrist.
