Rolex 'benched' for £188 Debenhams watch worth £2,175

Debenhams has reduced the STÜHRLING Original Regatta Automatic 42mm Diver by 91%, bringing the price down from £2,175 to £188.25 for both black and blue versions. The discount comes as shoppers look for Christmas gifts, with the watch earning a 4.6 out of five-star rating from customers.

Design and Features

The timepiece combines classic dive watch styling with a fully automatic movement. The 42mm case offers a timeless look, while the adjustable stainless steel link bracelet is designed for comfort. Luminous hands and indexes aid timekeeping, and the numbered coin-edge unidirectional rotating bezel adds to the diver-inspired design.

The Miyota 8215 automatic movement is visible through the screw-down exhibition case back. The watch's versatile design suits both smart suits and casual outfits, offering an alternative to high-end brands like Rolex that typically cost thousands of pounds.

Shopper Reviews

Customers have left glowing feedback, with one buyer saying: "Fabulous looking time piece. A quality looking watch, Over the moon with the watch. I purchased it for my son as a Christmas present." Another called it 'huge bang for the buck', adding: "Received my Stuhling Regatta 792 Automatic 42mm watch and found it to be extremely well made using top notch materials."

A third shopper said: "Absolutely love my watch. I have benched my Rolex, Breitling, Omega and Tag as I have a new favourite daily drive. It is beyond my expectations and recommended for the serious watch lover." Another added: "Great feel, good build. Like you're wearing a £3000 watch. Well done."

Other Deals

Not all reviews were positive, with one three-star rating noting: "Watch looks cool, but not as big as it is in the picture. Stop working after 2 weeks. Currently liaising with Debenhams for a replacement." A different shopper, however, said: "Superb. Beautiful watch looks great and works a treat. Looks just like a Swiss watch should."
