Salvatore Ferragamo Men’s FQ2030013 F-80 Stainless Steel Watch

Salvatore Ferragamo is a world-renowned brand known for their luxury items. The Italian company began in the 1900s when its founder, Salvatore Ferragamo, traveled to the United States and began working with Hollywood’s elite. It was there that he began making shoes for the stars. The shoemaker’s name quickly became synonymous with his original designs and high-quality creations. The same principles that began the shoemaking empire are now reflected in high-end timepieces.

The Salvatore Ferragamo brand joined with the Timex Group in a licensing agreement to manufacture luxury watches. The collection made its official debut in 2008 at BaselWorld, showcasing beautiful watches that combine value and the image of the high-end Italian brand. Of course the collection immediately garnered attention and the rest is history. At the present time, Timex is the distributer for Ferragamo timepieces. Timex is the largest watch manufacture in the world, and their influence spans across oceans and other borders.

The Salvatore Ferragamo Men’s FQ2030013 F-80 Stainless Steel Watch is just one example of their fine Italian timepieces. The watch packs a lot of punch into a small package. The watch features an informative dial that includes a rotating inner bezel, an hour hand, a minute hand and a second hand. The round watch has a stainless steel case and the dial is branded. The left-side crown has a red contrast as well as a ribbed rubber band. The sapphire crystal dial window allows for easy viewing without glare, which can otherwise be distracting. The watch is water resistant to 330 feet, making it suitable for snorkeling or swimming, but not diving.

In terms of style, the watch takes a decidedly modern approach. The heavy-duty stainless steel case has a utilitarian feel while the dial is rather crowded compared to classic designs. The band has a rubberized appearance, which delivers great comfort and a perfect fit. The watch, like other Salvatore Ferragamo items, is functional while still being fashionable. Above all else, it fits perfectly and is comfortable to wear.

The Salvatore Ferragamo Men’s FQ2030013 F-80 Stainless Steel Watch is unique in that it is a high-end piece that isn’t trying to make an impression on anyone. Unlike other high-end watches, Salvatore Ferragamo felt no need to give it a leather band that would wear and warp with time. Instead, a more practical band was included. While the band may not be as nice to look at as a leather one would have been, it is certainly more modern and quite a bit more versatile. When cared for properly, nothing outside of the battery should need to be replaced on the watch.

The handsome watch comes packaged in a wooden display box. The box can be used for gift-giving or storage purposes, as desired. A video-tutorial is available to explore all of the features of the watch, though the intuitive nature of the timepiece makes it easy to use for most people. With the Salvatore Ferragamo watch, you’ll get all the luxury you want, without the pretentious design of some luxury brands.
