Starking diamond watch – the black pearl on your wrist

Starking Watch Wrist Shot

This Starking is a classic automatic watch with unique design and luxury temperament, with a top rated reliable Japanese movement, while sold at a very cheap price.

Starking is a Chinese watch brand and not young, according to their brand story, they entered the watch market in 1993, well, that’s a long time ago, I got some memories of this brand, they must advertise their watches when I was a child. Starking was founded in Shenzhen, Guangdong, it had some great moments in its history, they often opened watch exhibitions in Hong Kong, but this brand is not as popular as our old big threes of Beijing Watch, Shanghai Watch and Sea-gull. The quality of Starking is just fine, and most of their watches are very affordable, ok quality and cheap price, I think this is the biggest advantage of Starking. By the way, many best sellers on Starking’s official store are ladies watches, which are really attractive.

The Starking watch I am going to introduce today is a stainless steel model with black dial, which looks very common, but its unique dial design makes it different. The watch is made with solid 316L stainless steel, it has a case diameter of 41.5mm and is 11.8mm thick, which is a size just matches current big watch trend. The case finish is exquisite, both brushing and polishing are used to create a high-end visual effect, every side of the case, including every corner of the lugs, they are smoothly processed to make sure the watch have a comfortable wearing feeling. The screw-in crown has an engraved snowflake Starking logo.

I like its black dial, which looks unique and has an asymmetrical aesthetic. Among all watches I have seen before, this Starking is the first watch that features a small-second subdial between 4:00 and 6:00, under a low price, the watch has such a creative dial design, I think it already worths your money. Another silver small dial that is positioned at 9 o’clock is for 24-hour display, the small hand on that subdial is not showing the time in the second time zone, it is just a display of current time in a format of 24-hour. The dial has an multi-layer structure that looks obvious, the circle on the center is sunken and has white minutes from 5 to 60, the outer circle has silver hour markers and diamonds set at 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock. “STARKING” and brand logo are three-diemensional, not printed, this is another place I like on its dial, you know, many Chinese watches that are sold at such price have their logo and brand name printed on the dial to save the cost.

Starking Golden Movement

The movement I see from the crystal back is golden and has beautiful decoration. Starking uses a Miyota 82S7 automatic movement in this watch, it is a very regular automatic movement made in Japan, Miyota 82S7 has a beating frequency of 21,600 times per hour and 21 jewels, the power reserve is great, the watch can work about 35 hours every time when I gave it a full winding, about accuracy, I have this watch for almost three months, now it will be 3 or 4 minutes faster every two weeks, well, this is acceptable for me. At last, Starking offers four different styles for this watch, there are two tone model and full black model to choose.
