The History of Stowa Watch Co. In 1927 Walter Storz branched out from his father's watch factory in Hornberg / Kinzitigal, Germany. Walter chose the name from the S-T-O being the first three letters of his surname, W-A being the first two letters of his fist name. By 1935 Stowa began manufacturing their own watches in a small rented space Pforsheim,Germany. In 1938,Walter was successful enough to have been able to built his first factory. In eleven years Stowa had made a name for themselves with an international reputation for high quality timepieces. Cheers, Simon |

That's very nice. I looked at the Stowa Seatimes just the other day. If I am not mistaken, isn't it relatively easy to switch bezels on those? I know on one site where they were listed, you could basically pick the options you wanted. It would be nice to have a watch that you could easily switch between several colors of bezels.

The Sea-Time Limited Edition uses an ETA 2824-A2 automatic movement, as you're probably aware. The Yellow Dial version has a COSC movement on the display case back. COSC: Controle Officiel des Suisse Chronometre. About Chronometers: A chronometer is a high-precision watch capable of displaying the seconds and housing a movement that has been tested over several days, in different positions and at different temperatures, by an official neutral body (COSC). Each chronometer is unique, identified by a number engraved on its movement and a certification number given by the COSC. Each movement is individually tested for several consecutive days, in 5 positions and at 3 temperatures. Each movement is individually measured. Any watch with the denomination "chronometer" is provided with a certified movement. The 2009 Sea Time Limited However the main difference is that the L.E. has blue screws. Rather than the usual silver that are commonly seen. There is also a individual serial number that's painted on the dial up to 100. This is to indicate that 100 of this model will be made. Cheers, Simon |
