Key Features
- Automatic Movement – Powered by the SEIKO V172 caliber, this watch self-winds with the natural motion of your wrist, ensuring continuous operation without batteries. The rotor inside the movement captures energy from daily arm movements, storing it in the mainspring to keep the watch running smoothly.
- Silver Dial with LumiBrite Markers – The clean, round silver dial features minimalist hour markers treated with LumiBrite, a proprietary luminescent material that charges quickly under any light source and glows brightly in the dark, providing clear legibility in low-light conditions such as evening events, dimly lit offices, or nighttime travel.
- Hardlex Crystal – Scratch-resistant mineral glass protects the dial while maintaining clarity and durability for daily use. Hardlex offers a strong balance between resilience and optical clarity, making it ideal for a watch intended for regular wear across various environments.
- Stainless Steel Case and Bracelet – Constructed with a polished stainless steel case and matching bracelet, the watch delivers a sleek, professional appearance with excellent resistance to corrosion and everyday wear. The bracelet is designed for comfort and durability, with a secure clasp for a reliable fit throughout the day.
- Date Display – A practical date window at the 3 o’clock position adds everyday utility to the elegant design, allowing quick reference without disrupting the dial’s minimalist aesthetic.
- 100-Meter Water Resistance – Rated for 100 meters (10 bar), this watch withstands splashes, rain, and swimming, making it suitable for active lifestyles. It can be worn confidently during handwashing, showering, or recreational swimming, though it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports.
