You would be hard pressed to find a
timepiece of this outstanding
quality and precision
at this price.
Only $29!
CLIENTS LOVE THE
STAUER WATCH…
“The quality of their
watches is equal to many
that can go for ten times the
price or more.”
— Jeff from McKinney, TX
It’s Enough to MakeYou
Blue in the Face
Time to take a stand against overpriced watches with the Stauer Urban Blue,
now only $29.
ou need a new watch…the one you are wearing was made when
Nixon was in office, but extravagantly-priced watches that add
zeros just because of a high falootin’ name are an insult to your logic.
Why shell out big money so some foreign company can sponsor
another yacht race? It’s time to put an end to such madness. It’s
absolutely possible to have the highest quality, precision classic
timepiece without the high and mighty price tag. Case in point:
The Stauer
Urban Blue.
Packed with high­end watch performance and style, minus
the high­end price tag.
It’s everything a high-end watch should
be: Sturdy stainless steel and genuine leather construction. Precision
timing that’s accurate to four seconds a day––that’s more precise
than a 27-jewel automatic watch priced at over $6,000. And, good
looking–– with simple, clean lines and a striking metallic blue face.
“Blue watches are one of the growing style trends seen in the watch
world in the past few years”––W
