SKL Sub All Black II

The SKL Sub All Black II is a full black Seiko Mod watch with one transgression: red. Its 24-hour graduated bezel alternates black sectors with a vivid red sector. It's the only color tolerated on an entirely dark ensemble: black PVD case, black dial, black rubber. The effect is immediate, almost automotive, somewhere between a sports counter and an instrument. The bezel is decorative; the movement remains three hands and date: the aesthetic of travel, mechanical simplicity.

A red and black 24-hour bezel

The red occupies an arc of the 24-hour graduation, recalling dashboard instruments. On the black dial, luminous indexes and a touch of red echo the bezel. The bezel is decorative: no second time zone, just character. Transparent case back, date at three o'clock. The red on the bezel is glossy lacquered on an overall matte finish. The contrast in finishes doubles the contrast in colors. A design detail found on well-thought-out pieces.

The Seiko NH35 caliber inside

This Seiko Mod runs on a genuine NH35 from Seiko Instruments, made in Japan. Automatic, 24 jewels, 21,600 vibrations per hour, 41 hours power reserve. Winding by wear and by crown. Accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds per day, the caliber's standard.

Where it belongs

Behind the wheel, in a jacket, for an urban evening: anywhere black and red evoke mechanics. It enhances black jeans and a T-shirt better than any other accessory. Prudent water resistance of 3 ATM: rain and splashes, no showering or swimming. On the wrist of a biker or a beautiful car enthusiast, it's in its element.

A gift with strong character

For the enthusiast of fine mechanics, racetracks, or simply pieces that look like nothing else in their drawer. This is the Black Edition in its most expressive version. 3-year warranty, delivered in its SKL case. Motorsport enthusiasts will immediately see a nod to counters and bucket seats. Without a single logo saying so.

Finishing details

Matte black PVD unifies the case, crown, and buckle. The rubber is forgotten when worn and cleans with soapy water. A pass under a lamp, and the indexes remain legible all evening.
