The $kull PWAAA0521: the gold Skull on a leather strap with a metal skull

The Philipp Plein The $kull PWAAA0521 is the most dressed-up version of the gold death's head. It features the 316L stainless steel case with yellow gold IP, the black dial and the gold faceted 3D skull that define the collection's reputation, but mounted on a black leather strap decorated with a raised metal skull. This second skull, placed on the strap, echoes the one on the dial and gives the watch the look of a piece of jewellery.

The leather changes everything about how it is worn: warmer, and softer over time, it makes this Philipp Plein skull watch suited to evenings out, black shirts and fitted jackets, more than to the gym.

Within the Skull family, it holds a special place: it is the only reference in the range fitted with a leather strap, all the others (PWAAA0221, PWAAA0721, PWAAA1221, PWAAA1321, PWAAA2324) being delivered on silicone. If you want the gold death's head without the sporty look of a rubber strap, this is the one to choose.

What makes up the PWAAA0521

  • 44 mm round case in 316L stainless steel with yellow gold IP treatment: a grade of steel commonly used in watchmaking for its good resistance to corrosion.
  • Black dial and gold faceted 3D skull: a sharp contrast, with a skull cut into facets that sparkles with every movement.
  • Studded gold bezel: the same ring of studs as on the PWAAA0221, for a rock-inspired silhouette.
  • Black leather strap: decorated with a raised metal skull, it carries the collection's theme onto the wrist.
  • IP gold pin buckle: matching the case, for a fully coordinated watch.
  • Seiko Y121F4 quartz movement: three hands, no date, battery powered.
  • Mineral glass: protection suited to everyday wear.
  • 50 m (5 ATM) water resistance: the watch resists rain, although the leather strap prefers to stay dry.
  • 2-year warranty: new and authentic watch.

Leather or silicone: choosing between PWAAA0521 and PWAAA0221

The PWAAA0521 and the PWAAA0221 have exactly the same watch head. The difference lies in the strap, and it shapes how the watch is used.

  • Occasions: the leather of the PWAAA0521 suits evening wear or a polished rock look; the silicone of the PWAAA0221 is aimed at active everyday use.
  • Ornament: the raised metal skull on the leather strap adds one more bright point; the moulded skull on the silicone stays black and discreet.
  • Comfort: the leather moulds to the shape of the wrist over the weeks, while the silicone is soft from the first day.
  • Water: leather copes poorly with repeated wetting, whereas silicone is unaffected.
  • Coordination: the IP gold buckle of the PWAAA0521 picks up the colour of the case for a more uniform look.

If you already wear a sports watch for the week, the PWAAA0521 is the ideal statement piece for going out.

Caring for the leather and the metal skull on the strap

A leather strap lives with its wearer. Well looked after, it develops a pleasing patina; neglected, it cracks and deforms. Here are the habits that matter.

  • Avoid water: despite the 5 ATM water resistance of the case, remove the watch for washing up or if you risk a prolonged downpour. Wet leather stiffens as it dries.
  • Rotate: let the strap breathe flat overnight, in open air, rather than storing the watch straight after taking it off.
  • Metal skull: wipe it with a dry microfibre cloth, without any product, so as not to soak the surrounding leather.
  • Perfume: spray it away from the wrist, as alcohol stains leather and tarnishes the gold buckle.
  • Fit: do not fasten too tightly, the leather needs to be able to dry between the skin and the watch.

Frequently asked questions

When will I receive the Philipp Plein PWAAA0521?
Your watch is sent new, in a tracked parcel that protects the case and leather strap during transit. The estimated delivery time for your address is displayed on the product page and in the basket before you confirm. You then receive the tracking link by email as soon as the parcel is handed over to the carrier.
What warranty and after-sales service come with this watch?
The PWAAA0521 is covered by a 2-year warranty against operating faults. Natural wear of the leather, impacts and glass breakage are not covered. For any request, contact our customer service with your order number. Returns within 14 days remain possible if the watch does not suit you, with return shipping at your expense, except for defective products, where these costs are covered.
Does the leather strap fit my wrist size?
The leather strap is adjusted using its IP gold pin buckle, hole by hole, which suits most wrists. The 44 mm case remains a substantial watch, designed for medium to large wrists. The leather softens with wear: a slightly firm fit in the first few days becomes comfortable after a few weeks.
Can I wear the PWAAA0521 in the rain?
The case is water resistant to 50 metres (5 ATM) and can handle a downpour. The leather strap, however, copes poorly with water: a brief shower is not a problem if you wipe it afterwards, but avoid washing up, showering and swimming. If the leather gets wet, let it dry in open air, away from a radiator.
How do I care for the leather strap with the metal skull?
Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after each wear, and let it lie flat overnight to breathe. Once or twice a year, a colourless care product for smooth leather, applied in a thin layer, keeps it supple. Clean the raised metal skull with a dry microfibre cloth, without any product, so as not to stain the surrounding leather.
