Strehler - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

The Sirna from STREHLER, first model of the small brand of the independent Andreas Strehler. 40mm in diameter for 8.5mm thick with a 22mm between lugs. The watch is designed to be a discreet daily watch that goes with just about everything, from jeans and a t-shirt to a 3-piece suit. A 3-hand watch that is quite classic in its operation, but with a design and production entirely made within the factory in German-speaking Switzerland. The movement, SA-30, has finishes that I personally love, in particular the hand-beveled gold rotor. The dial is the star here, machined grade 5 titanium, laser engraved, hand-polished and finally anodized in blue. A fairly vibrant color, the dial pattern is very changeable depending on the light, going from shiny to matte. The case is thin and well finished, with concave sides and a bevel in the between lugs. It is a basic case construction with case middle, case back and bezel, all in 316L for 3 ATM. The watch comes with a grained calfskin strap between taupe and light brown which is very comfortable. Equipped with quick-change bars, it is very easy to change the strap with another color if necessary, I opted for gray and blue suede. I can only recommend this piece which combines a lot of know-how with small quantity production (about 50 pieces per year) and top quality. My first jump into the world of independents! And the advantage with these small independents is that you can visit the factory directly, I was able to pick up the watch on site which adds to the emotional connection with this piece.
