Key Features
- Automatic Movement: This self-winding mechanism captures energy from your wrist’s movement to power the watch. No battery is required, making it an eco-friendly choice that reduces waste and maintenance. For optimal performance, regular wear is recommended; if the watch isn’t worn for several days, it may need a gentle manual winding to restart.
- Brown Leather Strap: Made from genuine leather, the strap offers a soft, comfortable fit that molds to your wrist over time. The rich brown finish adds warmth and versatility, easily transitioning from casual weekend wear to business-casual settings. With proper care, the leather develops a natural patina that enhances its character.
- Day/Date Calendar: Positioned prominently on the dial, the day and date window provides at-a-glance convenience for staying on top of your schedule. This dual display is both practical and visually balanced, contributing to the watch’s clean, readable design without cluttering the face.
- 50m Water Resistance: Rated for 50 meters (5 ATM), the watch resists water from daily activities such as handwashing, light rain, and accidental splashes. It is not designed for swimming, showering, or submersion in water, and prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided to maintain its integrity.
- Durable Construction: Built with Seiko’s signature attention to detail, the watch features a sturdy case and a scratch-resistant crystal that protects the dial. This ensures long-term clarity and resilience against everyday wear and tear.

Important Notes
Although the watch is water resistant to 50 meters, it should not be worn while swimming, showering, or engaging in water-related activities. Steam and prolonged moisture exposure can affect its performance over time. To preserve the leather strap, avoid direct contact with water and consider conditioning it periodically to prevent drying or cracking. The watch includes a user manual in PDF format for guidance on setup, winding, and care. If the watch hasn’t been worn for a few days, a few turns of the crown may be needed to restart the movement. Regular wear helps maintain consistent operation. Always purchase from authorized retailers to ensure authenticity and access to warranty support.
