The $kull PWAAA0221: gold skull and moulded silicone strap

The Philipp Plein The $kull PWAAA0221 brings together the two strongest codes of the brand: gold and the skull. Its yellow gold IP stainless steel case frames a black dial on which a faceted 3D gold skull sits, all surrounded by a gold studded bezel. The black and gold contrast is immediate and readable from several metres away: this is a Philipp Plein skull watch that gets noticed.

What sets it apart from its sister model PWAAA0521, which is identical in case and dial, is the black silicone strap with moulded skull. The skull motif extends into the strap material itself, in relief and tone on tone. The result: a Skull watch designed to move, sweat and get wet without a second thought.

PWAAA0221 quick specifications

  • 44 mm round case in steel with yellow gold IP finish: a generous diameter that makes a bold statement.
  • 15 mm thickness: a real presence on the wrist, best worn with short or rolled-up sleeves.
  • Gold studded bezel: a ring of raised studs around the glass, a rock signature of the collection.
  • Black dial and faceted gold 3D skull: a strong contrast that makes the motif visible from afar.
  • Seiko Y121F4 quartz movement: three hands, no date, battery powered with no winding required.
  • Black silicone strap with moulded skull: the skull motif is integrated into the strap itself.
  • Pin buckle: adjustable hole by hole, without tools.
  • Mineral glass and 50 m (5 ATM) water resistance: suited to everyday life.
  • 2-year warranty: brand new and authentic watch.

Silicone or leather: the PWAAA0221 versus the PWAAA0521

Both watches share the same design: gold case, studded bezel, gold skull on black dial, same movement. Only the strap changes, and this choice completely changes how the watch is used.

  • Water and sweat: the silicone of the PWAAA0221 is unaffected by rain or sweat, whereas the leather of the PWAAA0521 stains and deforms if regularly exposed to water.
  • Season: silicone is most comfortable in summer and during sport, while leather is better appreciated in autumn and winter.
  • Style: the moulded silicone skull stays black and understated, while the PWAAA0521 leather strap carries a raised metal skull, more eye-catching.
  • Care: rinsing with lukewarm water is enough for silicone, whereas leather requires avoiding water and being allowed to breathe.
  • Lifespan: silicone keeps its appearance for a long time, while leather develops a patina and eventually needs replacing.

In short, the PWAAA0221 is the version to wear everywhere and in all weathers, from the beach to a concert.

Another useful reference: the PWAAA1221, also gold, combines a dial entirely set with crystals with a white silicone strap. The PWAAA0221 remains more restrained thanks to its black dial, and its black strap gets dirty far less quickly than a white silicone strap in everyday use.

Keeping the shine of the gold and the moulded skull

The yellow gold IP finish colours the steel at the surface: it holds up well, but the tops of the bezel studs are the most exposed to friction. Here are the habits that preserve the black and gold contrast.

  • Moulded skull on the strap: its recesses trap dust and sun cream. Use a soft toothbrush with a little soapy water, then rinse.
  • After the beach or the pool: rinse the whole watch with fresh water, as salt and chlorine dull the gold over time.
  • Perfume and cream: apply them before putting the watch on, never directly onto the gold case.
  • Storage: lay the watch flat, away from keys and jewellery that could scratch the bezel.

Frequently asked questions

How long does delivery of the PWAAA0221 take?
The watch ships brand new in a tracked parcel, protected for transport. The estimated delivery time for your address appears on the product page and in your basket before payment. Once dispatched, an email sends you the tracking number so you know when your Skull watch arrives.
How does after-sales service work?
The PWAAA0221 is covered by a 2-year warranty against operating faults. If a problem occurs, write to our customer service team, stating your order number and the symptom observed. If you do not like the watch, returns are accepted within 14 days, with return shipping at your expense, except for defective products, where these costs are covered.
Is the silicone strap suitable for a slim wrist?
The moulded skull silicone strap adjusts hole by hole thanks to its pin buckle, which suits most wrist sizes. The case, however, measures 44 mm and 15 mm thick: it is designed for medium to large wrists. On a slim wrist the watch remains wearable but clearly becomes a statement piece.
Can I swim with the PWAAA0221?
Its 50 metre (5 ATM) water resistance and silicone strap make it more tolerant of water than the leather version. Rain, splashes, handwashing and sweat pose no problem. For swimming, hot showers and saunas, it is better to remove it, as heat and chlorine wear down the seals and the gold finish.
How do I clean the moulded skull on the strap?
The raised moulded skull easily traps dust. Dip a soft toothbrush in lukewarm, lightly soapy water, scrub the recesses of the motif, then rinse with clean water and dry with a cloth. Avoid alcohol and household cleaning products, which can dry out the silicone and dull its black colour.
