Key Features
- Automatic Movement: This self-winding mechanism operates through the kinetic energy generated by wrist movement, ensuring continuous timekeeping without batteries. It reflects Seiko’s deep heritage in mechanical watch engineering and offers the satisfying experience of owning a traditional mechanical watch.
- Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Case and Band: Crafted from corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a lustrous gold-tone finish, both the case and band resist tarnishing and maintain their polished appearance over time. The uniform color scheme enhances the watch’s sophisticated aesthetic.
- 37mm x 11mm Case Size: Designed for comfort and versatility, the mid-sized case fits well on most wrist sizes without overwhelming smaller wrists or appearing too subtle on larger ones. The slim 11mm thickness allows it to slip easily under shirt cuffs.
- Fixed Bezel: The stationary bezel contributes to the watch’s clean, streamlined profile while reinforcing the structural integrity of the case. It adds a subtle detail that enhances the overall design without distracting from the dial.
- Folding Clasp with Push Button Release: This secure closure system prevents accidental opening during wear, while the push-button mechanism allows for quick and easy removal. It combines safety with convenience for daily use.
- 30 Meters (100 Feet) Water Resistance: Offers protection against everyday water exposure such as handwashing, splashes, and light rain. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any prolonged submersion.
