f you’re anything like my dad, you give your family everything.
Your name, your time, your values — the people in your
life know they can depend on you for practically anything. In
exchange for imparting all of this energy and experience, you
expect nothing in return.
The point? You deserve to treat yourself once in a while.
You do so much for the people you care about. Now it’s
time to focus on you for just a few minutes. That’s where
the Men’s Due Volta Watch comes in. This astonishing
innovation provides a digital readout that’s powered
by a precise quartz engine, combining both analog
and digital timekeeping.
Outfitted with a stopwatch, alarm, a.m./
p.m. settings, and day, date and month
complications, this timepiece stands out
from the crowd. With its large face and
handsome, masculine design, this watch
is perfect for the back nine and the happy
hour afterwards. Water-resistant up to
3 ATM, this timepiece won’t wimp out
if you have a run-in with a water hazard.
Other hybrid watches can sell for
thousands of dollars, but because we’ve
built more than 1 million watches, we
know how to create real value. That’s
why we can offer this timepiece for just
$59! If you’re not completely satisfied
with this watch, return it for a full refund.
Act quickly! This one-of-a-kind watch has
been one of our fastest sellers this year. Of our
original run of 2,872, we only have 389 left for
this ad! In the last couple of years there’s been a watch
shortage, but Stauer has got you covered. If you’re the
kind of man who gives everything and expects nothing
in return, it’s time to treat yourself.
Watch Specifications:
• Complications: stopwatch, alarm, a.m./p.m. settings,
