Landstroms Black Hills Gold WatchLandstroms Black Hills Gold Watch – LWB9285-BLK-09250

The original manufacturer, and the leader in Black Hills Gold, Landstroms recently created this new ladies wrist-watch and watch-band combo just in time for the Holidays!

The watch itself is Landstrom’s classic Model 09250, which consists of a black round dial with eight 12 karat Black Hills Gold leaves and a stainless steel back. The watch mechanism is a quartz movement and is backed by a three year warranty. Of course, the Black Hills gold leaves themselves carry Landstroms Lifetime warranty.

What’s new is the watch band itself. Rather than cast the ends in solid 10 karat gold, Landstroms has instead made them from brass base metal making the ensemble a fraction of the cost of their solid gold models. The brass is then powder-coated with black enamel and articulated with a myriad of 12 karat Black Hills Gold leaves and details. Connecting the two ends is a standard twist-o-flex expansion band.
