Key Features

The 21-jewel design reduces friction and enhances longevity, delivering consistent performance without the need for manual winding or battery changes.
• Stainless Steel Case and Bracelet: Built for resilience, the square stainless steel case and matching bracelet offer excellent resistance to scratches and daily wear. The polished finish adds a refined look that complements both casual and formal attire.
• Vibrant Green Dial with Day/Date Calendar: The striking green dial enhances readability while adding a distinctive visual appeal. The integrated day and date display at the 3 o’clock position keeps you informed and organized throughout your day.
• Screw-Down See-Through Case Back: A standout feature of the Recraft series, the exhibition case back allows you to view the intricate inner workings of the automatic movement. This transparent design showcases the precision engineering and craftsmanship that define Seiko’s heritage.
• 50m Water Resistance: Engineered to withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion, this watch is suitable for handwashing, showering, and light aquatic activities. It’s not designed for swimming or diving, but offers peace of mind in everyday wet conditions.
• 41-Hour Power Reserve: Once fully wound, the movement stores enough energy to keep the watch running for up to 41 hours without additional motion. This ensures reliable timekeeping even if the watch isn’t worn for a day.

Important Notes

This watch includes one product-specific battery, which is pre-installed to support initial operation. However, the primary power source is the automatic movement, which winds itself through wrist motion. While water-resistant to 50 meters, it is not suitable for swimming, snorkeling, or diving. For warranty details, customers should refer to the manufacturer’s official policy. The product remains in production and is not discontinued. Regular maintenance is recommended to preserve the movement’s precision and longevity. Always store the watch in a dry place and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields.
