SKL Cadran Arabe Noir

The SKL Black Arabic Dial is a Seiko Mod watch with an Arabic dial in its purest form. Deep black dial, silver Indo-Arabic numerals, steel case. Black does what it always does in watchmaking: it erases everything non-essential. All that remains is the calligraphy, the fluted bezel that catches the light, and the five-row jubilee bracelet. This is the black men's watch reinterpreted by Eastern tradition. The one you choose when you want a single watch that goes everywhere.

A black dial with Arabic numerals

The black of the dial is stark, without colored reflections, allowing the applied Indo-Arabic numerals to catch all the light. The date is displayed at three o'clock. The fluted bezel in 316L steel animates the dial's circumference, under a sapphire crystal. Two case sizes, 36 and 39 mm, and a transparent case back revealing the movement. The black and silver contrast guarantees instant readability, by day or under a bedside lamp. The polished fluted bezel brightens the whole as soon as light hits it.

The genuine Seiko NH35 caliber

Inside this Seiko Mod beats an authentic Seiko NH35 movement, straight from Seiko Instruments' Japanese workshops. Automatic with 24 jewels, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, 41 hours of power reserve. Winding by wear or crown, hacking seconds when setting. Accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds per day, in accordance with the caliber's standard.

The black watch that goes everywhere

Job interview on Monday, wedding on Saturday: the black dial never misses an occasion. It matches a suit as well as a white t-shirt. When traveling, it's the single watch that covers all situations. Water-resistant to 5 ATM, it's suitable for showering and surface swimming. Just avoid diving with it. It's also the watch for official photos: it never dates a shot.

A safe bet for a gift

When in doubt about the recipient's taste, black is universally appealing. And the Arabic dial sets it apart from all the black watches they've seen before. A graduation, promotion, or birthday gift, it comes in its SKL case with a 3-year warranty.

Choosing the right diameter

The 39 mm fits wrists 17 centimeters and larger. The 36 mm, the original size for classic watches, makes it a unisex watch that fits all wrists. The jubilee bracelet can be adjusted link by link.
