I own a 2008 Skagen Denmark 596XLTXD Titanium Multifunction day/date/month with a brown copper face, titanium bezel and band. The instruction manual says Skagen Designs A/S is located in Albertslund Denmark and Skagen Designs Limited is located in Kowloon, Hong Kong. My case back is etched Skagen Designs LTD, so it’s most likely made in China. But that doesn’t matter, it’s one of my favorite and most comfortable watches. Good material, looks, function and value.
The Skagen Grenen was my first watch ever. I got from an oficial retailer in Honduras back in 2011 at a really good price. I used it a lot and it still works perfectly fine, it still looks like new. I think the pre-fossil era Skagen watches were actually pretty good.
I happen to have a Skagen 233XLSS… I like it because it’s very different from any of the other watches I own. It’s a 7.2mm thick, 36mm diameter case. It has that fancy stainless mesh band which fits seamlessly to the case. A really interesting, thin little watch. I think it might be a ladies watch, but who knows… I like it just the same.
I have a Skagen Holst Hybrid in the same color scheme - lovely design, but aweful technology. The battery lasts only a couple of weeks, so I don't use it. I'd wish they did an automatic version. Actually, they do, it's even a Holst, but it's a cheesy skeleton design, and too large at 42mm. If they did one at max. 40mm with a plain dial, I'd probably get one. This one, and the plain Holst, are amongst the nicest watch designs for my taste, only topped by the much more expensive but awesome Junghans Max Bill.
