Men's Mechanical Skeleton Watch – 43 mm See-Through Dial, Leather or Steel Strap
Men's Mechanical Skeleton Watch – 43 mm See-Through Dial with Leather or Steel Strap
This men's mechanical skeleton watch has an open dial that shows the gears, bridges and balance wheel of the movement at work. It has a 43 mm dial in a stainless steel case, a see-through case back, luminous hands and strengthened mineral glass. The supplier lists it as model AL-8625. Easy Life Markets sells it in nine versions with leather or steel straps.
The centre of the dial is cut away, so there is no solid face at all, only the movement, with a gold-coloured bridge sweeping across it and blued screws and hands. A numbered ring round the edge carries the minute track. It is a watch for people who enjoy seeing how a mechanism works, and it is driven by a spring, not a battery.

About the Brand
The model code AL-8625 comes from the supplier's list, and the name "Ailang" appears on the dial in the supplier's photos. We are passing on what the supplier shows. Easy Life Markets is a retailer, not the manufacturer, and we make no claim to be an authorised dealer for any watch brand.
A Straight Answer on the Details
- "Silicone band". The original title described a silicone band, and one line of the supplier's specification says the same. The supplier's own list of versions, and all of its photos, show leather and steel straps. No silicone version is offered here.
- "Automatic". The original title called the watch automatic, which means self-winding from the movement of the wrist. The supplier's specification says only "mechanical". We have not confirmed whether it winds itself, is wound by the crown, or both. Ask us if this matters to you.
- "30 m" water resistance. On watches this indicates resistance to splashes, rain and hand washing. Do not swim or shower with it. Keep the screw crown fully closed.
- Accuracy. No figure is given. Any mechanical watch gains or loses some seconds a day, and inexpensive ones more than fine ones. Expect to correct the time now and then. If you need exact time, choose a quartz watch.
- Power reserve. Not stated. A mechanical watch that is not worn or wound will stop after a day or two and needs resetting.
- Metal colours. "Rose gold" and "gold" describe coloured finishes on steel.
- Not stated: Movement maker and calibre, jewel count, strap length and weight.
About Mechanical and Skeleton Watches
A mechanical watch is powered by a wound spring that releases its energy through a train of gears, regulated by a balance wheel swinging back and forth several times a second. Nothing in it is electronic. A skeleton watch removes or cuts away the dial and plates so that this mechanism can be seen. The pleasure of owning one is watching the balance beat and the wheels turn.
Living With a Mechanical Watch
- If it has stopped, wind it or move it gently before setting the time, following the instructions supplied.
- Set the time by pulling the crown out, and push or screw it fully back afterwards.
- Avoid hard knocks. A mechanical movement is more delicate than a quartz one.
- Keep it away from strong magnets, such as speakers and magnetic clasps. Magnetism makes a mechanical watch run fast.
Will It Fit My Wrist?
At 43 mm across and 16 mm thick, this is a substantial watch. It suits medium and large wrists. The thickness means it will not slide under a close-fitting shirt cuff. Leather straps fasten through a row of holes. Steel bracelets usually need links removed to fit, which a watch repairer can do in a few minutes.
Care
- Wipe the case and glass with a soft cloth.
- Keep leather straps dry. Wipe steel bracelets with a damp cloth and dry them.
- Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet.
- Keep it away from solvents, perfume and heat.
- Do not open the case back yourself. Dust and moisture stop a movement quickly.
Common Questions
