Key Features
- Automatic Movement: The watch is powered by Seiko’s self-winding automatic movement, which harnesses energy from the natural motion of your wrist. This eliminates the need for battery replacements and ensures consistent timekeeping as long as the watch is worn regularly.
- Cream Dial with Silver-Tone Accents: The cream-colored dial offers a warm, vintage-inspired contrast against the silver-tone hands and hour markers, enhancing readability while adding a refined touch to the overall design.
- Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Case and Band: Both the case and bracelet are crafted from durable stainless steel with a polished silver-tone finish, providing a sleek, modern appearance and resistance to everyday wear and corrosion.
- Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel: The bezel rotates in one direction only, a functional feature commonly used in dive watches to track elapsed time safely. It adds a sporty element and increases the watch’s utility for timing activities.
- Fold Over Clasp with Safety Release: The bracelet is secured with a fold-over clasp that includes a safety release mechanism, ensuring the watch stays firmly on your wrist while allowing for easy and secure adjustment.
- 100 Meters Water Resistance: Rated for 100 meters (330 feet), this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water-related activities, though it is not recommended for deep diving or high-impact water sports.
- Compact Case Size: Measuring 38 mm in diameter and 12.1 mm in thickness, the case offers a balanced, wearable size that fits comfortably on most wrist sizes, making it ideal for daily use without feeling bulky.

Important Notes
This watch requires regular wear to maintain its power reserve, as it is not equipped with a manual winding mechanism or hacking feature. If not worn for extended periods, it may stop and will need to be reset. While water-resistant to 100 meters, it should not be used for scuba diving or high-pressure water activities. The product includes one required battery, though in automatic watches, this typically refers to the internal power cell that supports movement function and is not user-replaceable. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and sealed after setting the time to maintain water resistance. The watch comes in original Seiko packaging with standard documentation.
