Aurevo Steel Quartz Watch

ATW-1003: A 40mm Stainless Steel Quartz Watch for Wholesale and Private Label

Aurevo's Steel Quartz Watch is a men's dress watch built on a 40mm 316L stainless steel case with a polished finish, a silver dial with a date window at 3 o'clock, mineral glass crystal and a matching stainless steel link bracelet with a folding clasp. It runs on a quartz movement and carries a 3 ATM water resistance rating. It is supplied as a standard stainless steel watch wholesale reference from 100 pieces, and the same style is produced as a private label, OEM or ODM item with your own dial detail, logo and packaging from 300 pieces.

This page sets out the confirmed specification, the one retail problem this type of watch creates after the carton is opened and how the order is arranged around it, how the watch is inspected before it is packed, the company behind the order, and the terms that apply to a wholesale or private label run.

The Retail Risk: A Steel Bracelet That Has to Be Sized Before It Can Be Sold

A steel link bracelet is almost never the right length out of the box. Every unit sold across a counter, or shipped to a customer who ordered online, has to be adjusted to a wrist first, and that adjustment is where a new watch picks up its first damage. Links taken out with the wrong tool leave burrs and fine scratches on a polished surface that a customer notices while the box is still open. A pin or spring bar refitted at an angle produces a bracelet that rattles on the wrist or lets go a few weeks later, which arrives back at your business as a defect even though the watch left the factory in order. And a unit supplied longer than the wrist range your market actually buys is awkward to sell online, because a marketplace buyer cannot size a bracelet at home and will return the watch rather than take it to a bench.

The point for a buyer is that this work is invisible in a catalogue photograph and is not captured by a unit price or an MOQ. It appears later as counter time, damaged stock and return freight. A sample proves the look and the finish of the bracelet; it does not tell you how much labour one hundred units will need before any of them is fit to leave the shop.

How This Order Is Arranged Around That Risk

• The case measurement is published in millimetres with its basis. The case is specified as 40mm excluding the crown, so the figure on your listing or display card can be quoted on the same basis instead of being re-measured on every batch and coming out different each time.
• Bracelet length and the number of removable links are not part of the confirmed specification, so no figure is published for them here. Tell us the wrist range you sell into and we confirm the bracelet length and the usable adjustment against your order before production starts. That is the figure that decides how much counter time a hundred units will take, and it is worth settling before the watches are on a shelf rather than after.
• The bracelet and clasp are inspected as one assembly, not as two parts. During assembly inspection and functional testing, the clasp is checked for a firm, correct close and the bracelet for correct assembly and finish, so a bracelet that will not operate properly is caught in Shenzhen rather than at a customer's wrist.
• The first run can be sized in the market it is going to be sold in. Production of this reference starts from 100 pieces, which is small enough to place one run in real doors, measure the actual sizing time and damage rate, and only then commit to a season's volume. Sampling runs 7 to 15 working days and standard production 20 to 40 working days after approval, so a first run can be in the market and read before the next order is placed.
• A 12-month warranty covers the selling period. All Aurevo watches and jewelry carry a standard 12-month warranty from the date of delivery covering manufacturing defects under normal use, and claims are handled through our sales team with your order details. A clasp or bracelet fault inside that period has a defined route instead of becoming an argument after the customer has already paid.

Those five points are the whole of the risk control on this page, and they are why the specification below is written out in full rather than summarised.

Full Specification Table

The table lists what is confirmed for this reference.

Case thickness and bracelet length are not part of the confirmed specification for this reference, so they are not quoted here rather than filled with an unverified figure. If your market sells into a particular wrist range, or your gift box is built around a stated thickness, send those two figures with your enquiry: the wrist range you sell into, and the internal height your box has to accept. Both dimensions are then confirmed against your order before it is placed, so the number that reaches your listing is the number production is working to rather than an estimate. A dimension that reaches your listing without being confirmed is more expensive to correct than a question asked at the enquiry stage.

What Each Line of the Specification Decides for Your Order

The same specification, read as a buying decision rather than as a data sheet.

Specification	What it decides for your order	What to confirm before ordering
Quartz movement	Your ownership profile at the counter. A quartz watch is maintained by a battery change rather than a watchmaker, which suits retailers and online sellers who do not run a repair bench.	Whether your after-sales process names a particular quartz caliber or battery type, and how a battery change is handled under your own returns policy.
316L stainless steel case and bracelet	The alloy is named by grade in the specification table and in the product attributes, so the steel your sample is made from is the steel on the order — the line that usually differs in a cheaper comparable offer.	The surface finish on the approved sample, since the case and bracelet have to read as one piece under store lighting.
Mineral glass crystal	What the watch looks like after a year of daily wear. The crystal is the part a customer sees first at eye level, and the type is fixed in the specification rather than left open.	Whether your market expects a different crystal type, and if so, what that changes in the order.
Silver dial with a date window at 3 o'clock	Legibility and how the watch photographs. A silver dial with a date window holds up in small marketplace thumbnails and reads clearly in a display case.	The dial version and how much branding you want on the dial itself.
Steel link bracelet with folding clasp	The part of the watch a customer touches daily, and the sizing work every sale requires before the watch can be worn.	Bracelet length and the usable adjustment against the wrist range you sell into.
3 ATM water resistance	What your customer may do while wearing the watch, and therefore what your listing copy is allowed to claim.	The rating wording on your listing, with the boundary set out below.
100-piece entry, 20–40 day production	How much cash a season ties up, and how late a second run can realistically be placed.	The date your stock has to be available, so the schedule is built backwards from it.

What 3 ATM Means Before You Write Your Listing Copy

3 ATM is a splash rating. The watch is built to withstand rain and everyday splashes such as hand washing, and it is not intended for swimming, diving, showering or any contact with hot water. Those limits belong in your retail copy, because most water damage claims begin with a customer who read "water resistant", wore the watch into water and then expected a warranty repair.

Two handling points are worth passing on with the watch. The crown should be pushed fully in before the watch goes anywhere near water, since a crown left open is a route for moisture that has nothing to do with the case rating. The watch should also be kept away from chemical cleaners, solvents and perfume, which attack the finish and the seals around the caseback. If your market needs the rating stated in particular wording, send us the wording with your enquiry so it can be confirmed before your listing goes live.

Product Advantages and Core Features

Each of these is a checkable detail rather than a claim, so it can survive being put in front of a customer.

• 316L stainless steel case and bracelet. The grade is recorded in the specification table and in the product attributes, so two stainless steel watch wholesale offers can be compared on the same basis instead of on the words "stainless steel" alone.
• 40mm case quoted on a stated basis. The measurement excludes the crown, which is the sizing basis most retail listings use and therefore the one that avoids a product page that has to be corrected after publication.
• Mineral glass crystal fixed in the specification. Crystal type is one of the first comparisons buyers make in this segment, and stating it fixes what your sample, your listing and your repeat order are all describing.
• Silver dial with a date window at 3 o'clock. A clean silver dial with a date function covers the widest range of men's customers in a single reference, which reduces the number of SKUs a display case needs to carry.
• Quartz movement. No watchmaker is needed for routine service, so the watch suits retail counters, gift channels and online sellers without a repair bench behind them.
• Folding clasp on a steel bracelet. Stated as a material and closure type rather than as a style description, so the closure on your sample is the closure on your order.
• A 3 ATM rating published with its limit. The rating and its boundary sit in the specification table, in the attributes and in this page, so your own listing does not have to guess where the limit is.
• An entry quantity that allows a real test. Standard production from 100 pieces lets a new style be placed in one or two doors and assessed on real sales before a full private label program is committed.

Customization for Your Brand

Dial colour and detail, logo application, case finishing and packaging are the areas buyers change first on this style, because they are what make a catalogue item read as one brand's product rather than another's. Custom orders start from 300 pieces rather than 100, because new dial artwork and packaging change how the order is prepared and approved. Send your logo artwork or brand guideline with the enquiry so the options and their effect on price and schedule can be quoted together instead of in several rounds.

Three routes run on the same production lines. OEM means the watch is produced from your drawing, reference sample or specification. ODM means the starting design comes from Aurevo's library of more than 8,000 watch and jewelry styles and is adapted to your market. Private label means a catalogue item such as this one is produced with your logo and branding on the watch and its packaging. Tell us which route you are planning and how much design freedom you want, and we confirm the options and the corresponding minimum quantity.

Quality Control, Production Process and Factory Capability

How the Watch Is Checked Before It Is Packed

Watch production at Aurevo follows six main stages, and quality control sits inside those stages rather than only at the end of the line. The checks run across more than 40 quality-control stations, counted across the watch and jewelry production areas together, and cover incoming material inspection, component inspection, in-process inspection, assembly inspection, functional testing, appearance inspection, final inspection and packaging inspection. On this reference the points that decide whether a carton is acceptable are movement operation and timekeeping, the fit of the hands and the date window against the dial, the condition and consistency of the case and bracelet finish, the assembly and operation of the bracelet and folding clasp, and the final appearance of the complete watch before it is boxed.

Why the Checks Sit Where They Do

The parts of a quartz watch are simple; its failures are not. A hand set a fraction off its mark, a date window that does not centre on the third, a clasp that closes without a firm click, or a bracelet fitted with a slight twist all pass a quick glance and fail in a customer's hands. Because these watches are bought at a modest unit price and sold in volume, the cost of handling one return — freight both ways, the replacement, the paperwork and the shelf space — can come close to erasing the margin on that sale. Inspection is therefore a commercial control as much as a quality preference, and catching a fault at sub-assembly rather than at final packing is what keeps it from leaving the factory.

The Factory and Company Behind the Order

Aurevo has manufactured watches and jewelry for B2B customers since 2012. The Shenzhen facility covers more than 18,000 square meters and holds separate areas for product development, watch assembly, jewelry production, quality control, packaging and warehousing, with an in-house quality lab added in 2016. Watch production runs at more than 200,000 units per month across 16 production lines, supported by a team of more than 220 people, and the company delivers more than 4.5 million watch and jewelry pieces per year in total from a library of more than 8,000 styles, supplying customers in more than 65 markets.

Those figures describe the company and its facility as a whole. The 200,000-plus monthly figure counts the watch lines, while the 4.5 million annual total counts watches and jewelry together, so the two are measured on different scopes rather than one being a multiple of the other. Both are company-level figures for the facility as a whole rather than a quota reserved for one product, and the capacity and schedule committed to your order are the ones stated in your quotation. What they change for this order is practical. The size of the style library means a variation on this look can often start from an existing case, dial and packaging base rather than from a new development. The same lines and the same inspection stages cover standard, OEM, ODM and private label work, so the first run and the fifth run are checked the same way. The in-house lab is why functional testing stays on site and inside the production timeline instead of being sent out.

Who Buys This Watch From Us

The buyers who order this reference most often are watch retailers adding a steel bracelet piece to a men's display case, distributors building a consistent men's range across a region, and online sellers who need one clean, easy-to-photograph watch that covers a broad customer group. Aurevo supplies retailers, distributors, importers, e-commerce brands and private label brand owners, and the common thread is the same: the product has to photograph clearly, be produced consistently enough to be reordered, and be supported on the counter. Company-level capability, style library and warranty apply across the business rather than to this item alone.

Packing, Shipping, Payment and Lead Time

Packing. Finished watches are packed into protective presentation boxes before shipment, and custom retail packaging including box, sleeve, insert and printed logo can be developed for private label and OEM projects. If your warehouse, marketplace or fulfilment partner needs a particular number of boxes per carton, carton marking or a retail-ready presentation, put those requirements in the order notes so they are handled with the packing details rather than added at the port.

Shipping. Orders move by air, sea or express through established freight forwarders, with delivery arranged to your warehouse or port. The mode depends on volume, destination and the date your stock has to be available, and the export documents are prepared to match the shipment.

Payment. We accept T/T (bank transfer), L/C and major online payment methods. Terms are typically a 30% deposit with the balance due before shipment, and they can be adjusted for long-term partners and repeat programs. If your finance team works to a different structure, raise it with the enquiry so it can be discussed with the quotation.

Lead time. Samples for this reference take 7 to 15 working days. Standard production takes 20 to 40 working days after the specification and order details are approved, and where an order sits inside that range depends on quantity, dial and finishing work, bracelet configuration and packaging. Larger quantities and custom dial work move toward the upper end of the range, which is the reason a second run to cover a live selling period has to be planned before the first run sells out rather than in the week it does. The dates your order is committed to are the dates confirmed in the quotation.

Buyer Questions

What is the MOQ for this steel quartz watch?

Standard production of ATW-1003 starts from 100 pieces. A custom order with your own dial artwork, logo or packaging starts from 300 pieces, because the new artwork and packaging change how the order is prepared and approved. Other standard watches in our catalogue may start at different quantities, and the figure that applies to each item on your list is the one confirmed in your quotation.

Can I order a sample before placing a bulk order?

Yes. Samples for this reference take 7 to 15 working days. Sample handling and cost are agreed with the quotation, and if your decision depends on seeing the polished steel finish and the bracelet as a physical object before committing to a quantity, say so with the enquiry so the sample and the schedule are arranged together.

Can this watch be produced with my own logo?

Yes. Logo customization is available for suitable watch and jewelry products. On this style the areas buyers usually brand are the dial, the clasp and the packaging, and the dial colour and detail and the case finishing can be adapted at the same time. Send your logo artwork or brand guideline with the enquiry so the options can be quoted in one reply rather than in several rounds.

What is the difference between OEM, ODM and private label here?

OEM means we manufacture from your drawing, reference sample or specification. ODM means the design starts from our own library and is adapted to your market. Private label means an existing reference such as ATW-1003 is produced with your logo and branding on the watch and its packaging. All three are handled on the same lines and inspected in the same stages.

How are the watches packed?

Finished watches are packed into protective presentation boxes and then into export cartons. Custom packaging can be developed for private label and OEM projects, and a specific box count per carton, carton marking or a retail-ready box can be handled if it is stated in the order notes.

How is the order shipped?

We ship by air, sea or express, working with established freight forwarders and arranging delivery to your warehouse or port. Which mode suits an order depends on volume, destination and the date the stock has to be available, and the arrangement is confirmed with the order rather than fixed in advance.

What are the payment terms?

We accept T/T (bank transfer), L/C and major online payment methods. Terms are typically a 30% deposit with the balance due before shipment, and they can be tailored for long-term partners and repeat programs.

What warranty applies to this watch?

All Aurevo watches and jewelry carry a standard 12-month warranty from the date of delivery, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Claims are handled through our sales team with your order details. Water damage, impact damage and repairs carried out outside our process fall outside the warranty, which is why the water resistance boundary is stated on this page and should appear in your own listing copy as well.

What does 3 ATM actually cover?

3 ATM means the watch is splash resistant and is not intended for swimming, diving, showering or hot water. The rating on the specification table, in the product attributes and in your quotation is the same value, so your retail copy can quote it directly without overstating it.

What is the bracelet length, and can it be adjusted?

Bracelet length and the number of removable links are not part of the confirmed specification for this reference, so no figure is published for them here. Steel link bracelets are adjusted by removing links, and that work is normally done at the point of sale, which makes the delivered length and the usable adjustment something to settle with your market in mind. Send us the wrist range you sell into with your enquiry and we confirm the bracelet length and the adjustment that applies to your order before production starts.

Can I reorder the same style later in the season?

Yes. ATW-1003 is a catalogue reference with a recorded specification, so a repeat order is placed against the same item and specification rather than developed again from the beginning. The thing to plan is timing: standard production runs 20 to 40 working days after approval, so a second run that has to be on the shelf while the style is still selling should be scheduled before the first run sells out. If you have a fixed in-store date, give it to us with the enquiry so the schedule is built backwards from it.

How long does production take after approval?

Standard production generally takes 20 to 40 working days after the product and order details have been approved. Quantity, dial and finishing work, bracelet configuration and custom packaging decide where an order falls inside that range, and the production schedule committed to your order is confirmed when your requirements are finalised.

Can you supply compliance or test documentation for my market?

Documentation requirements differ from market to market. If your market needs particular compliance, testing or labelling documentation to travel with the shipment, list those requirements with your enquiry so they can be checked against what is available for your order and confirmed in writing before production starts.
