Skagen 694Xltxn Titanium Bracelet Watch

Skagen 694xltxn Titanium Bracelet Watch

This watch is all titanium, so it has the look of a masculine link watch without all the weight. It has a charcoal dial with three subdials – one for the day, one for the date and one for 24-hour time. It has luminous hands, a second hand, and a push-button-clasp. The watch is water immune to 100 feet and measures 1 1/2 inches across.

A great match to your contemporary business couture, this Skagen titanium men’s watch features a thin profile that’s just 9mm thick (0.35 inches) and feather-light weight. The case and bracelet are made from solid titanium, which is closely 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It’s likewise in particular immune to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic–perfect for those with metal allergies. The black dial face offers three subdials–day of the week, date, and second time zone–as well as super luminous stick markers and hands (with seconds hand), and little minute indexes. Other features include Japanese quartz movement, a scratch-resistant super-hardened solid homogeneous inorgani substance crystal, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)–offering shelter from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving.

About Skagen Named after a fishing hamlet in Denmark on the northern tip of the Jutland peninsula, Skagen Designs was founded by Henrik and Charlotte Jorst in 1991 after the two Copenhagen natives moved to New York City.

The spectacular natural beauty of the area is compellingly beautiful, and it is white sandy beaches have been visited by artists for centuries.

The Skagen Story

The History of Skagen Designs
In 1987, Henrik and Charlotte Jorst came to the United States from their native Denmark to follow a dream: that of owning and running their own business. Skagen Designs was founded by these two natives of Copenhagen on the principle that beautifully designed, high-quality objects may be produced at reasonable prices. The Skagen Collection of watches reflects the Jorsts’ originative Danish spirit with clean, refined and tasteful designs, skillful craftsmanship and technical perfection. When you buy a piece from the Skagen Collection, you become part of an international community of Skagen owners who believe in a system of belief of design and manufacturing excellence.

Maintaining Your Skagen Watch

  • Ensure that the crown is returned to the normal operating position before the watch comes in contact with water.
  • Do not take your watch into a Hot Tub or Sauna.
  • Under normal conditions, the seals in your Skagen watch will deteriorate and may need to be substituted each 2-3 years.
  • Have your Skagen watch serviced by an official service center.
  • All Skagen watches operate with usual batteries. When necessary, any jeweler may replace them for you. Different models are water immune to varying degrees. Please refer to the back of your watch for the water immune rating.


    How To Set The Time And Date

  • Pull the crown out to the middle position.
  • Rotate the crown to set date
  • Pull the crown out to entirely extended position and rotate crown to set desired time.
  • Push the crown back to it is normal position. The date and time are now set.

    Cleaning Your Skagen Watch
    Skagen proposes the following solutions for cleaning metal and crystal surfaces:

  • 3:1 solution of ammonia based window cleaner to water
  • 4:1 solution of rubbing alcohol to water.
  • Do not use soap products.
  • These suggested solutions will evaporate cleanly from metal and glass surfaces. Soap will leave residue behind when dry.

    To clean the case and crystal:
    Moisten a soft cloth with one of the above solutions. Gently wipe the case and crystal clean. Be careful not to put too much stress on the crystal as you clean. *NEVER immerse or soak the case/crystal share of the watch, irrespective of water resistance rating. Moisture could seep past the seals over time.

    To clean the band or strap:
    Skagen soft mesh bands are effortlessly adjustable. Simply insert a little screwdriver or similar tool into the clasp. Lift up the clasp without applying pressure to the thin pin all over the clasp and move to desired position. Snap closed securely. Make sure the clasp is set in one of the indentations on the back of the band. Link bands are altogether adaptable anyplace watches are serviced.

    Skagen proposes the following exercises for cleaning metal, rubber and leather surfaces:

  • Metal watchbands
    Dip a cotton swab in the above solution, and gently rub it into the soiled portion of the band. For more intricate mesh bands, you may want to use a soft bristle toothbrush or nailbrush. Be sure to cover the case of the watch for the duration of this procedure so as not to soak it. For stubborn soil, you may want to fetch it to a jeweler for a professional cleaning.

  • Rubber watchstraps
    Simply wipe them down with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaps and solvents as they may arid or crack the plastic.
  • Leather watchstraps: Top Grain
    Top grain leather may be characterized by it is smooth, more or less shiny appearance. To clean this type of leather, follow the same procedure as with the rubber watchband. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth, using water only. You may want to use leather conditioner or a little amount of hand lotion to keep the leather supple over time. Top grain leather may formulate a milky “haze” if left alone for extended periods. This may plainly be wiped away or got rid of with leather conditioner.
  • Leather watchstraps: Nubuck
    This is basically full grain leather with the top layer shaved off, leaving a flat, smooth finish. A product called a “nubuck eraser” may be found at better shoe fix shops. It will aid to remove most light stains and debris from nubuck.

    1Poor Craftsmanship, worse fix service.
    By Steve Lindsey
    I purchased my Skagen Designs LTD. titanium, multifunction, analog, watch for the duration of our family vacation, July 30, 2009. One week after we returned from our vacation, August 8, 2009, the 4:00 indicator or marker fell off inside the watch. I called Skagen and they indicated that the watch would have to be shipped to their Reno, NV office at my expense. I shipped the watch back to them by way of FedEx on August 11, 2009. The watch was repaired and the packing slip/requested ship date was August 18, 2009.
    I received the watch August 27, 2009. I wore it for one week when the 4:00 indicator fell off inside the watch, again, September 3. 2009. I called the Repair Supervisor in the Skagen repair division to talk about the issue. I asked that the watch be substituted and not repaired. They told me that alternate was not possible because the watch had been discontinued. The only option was to return the watch to Reno, NV for repair, again. I indicated that I did not have selfconfidence in the Skagen repair section to adequately fix the watch. He assured me that when the watch arrived he would oversee the fix personally. It would be kept and observed after the repair to verify, then returned. I asked with regards to shipping reimbursement and they indicated that Skagen could take care of that for me.
    I wore the watch for a while because I had not yet had the chance to get enjoyment from the memento of our particular family vacation. I shipped the watch back, with shipping cost data for reimbursement, to their Reno, NV office thru FedEx on October 9, 2009. The watch was shipped back and the packing slip/requested ship date was October 19, 2009. I received the watch October 28, 2009. When the package was opened I found the watch with the 4:00 indicator wedged tightly versus the 2:00 indicator and not where it is supposed to be, similar to the way it was when I shipped it for repair. No shipping reimbursement.

    4Better than I hoped, but not perfect
    By B. Sol
    Love the watch, love the look but I had hoped it would be a little more durable. I purchased it because of what I read in regards to titanium not looking scratched very easily, but the band looks just as scratched as all my other watches – perchance even faster. However on the bright side, the face has been much more scratch resistant.

    All in all a nicely designed watch, wears nicely, looks nice, accurate. No real complaints just not as lasting as I had been lead to believe it would be from respective reviews I read.

    5Great Watch
    By Walter Jakubin
    What I’ve been looking for since my old Seiko broke, thin, light,good looking, and keeps splendid time.All the new lowcost watches I looked at or purchased are to big and to heavy, it felt as though I was wearing a Volkswagen on my wrist. The Skagen was a outstanding find at a great price on Amazon, the cost for the same watch was double at my local Dillard’s.
