SKL Blue II Arabic Dial

The SKL Blue II Arabic Dial is a Seiko Mod watch with an Arabic dial. It takes blue from the other end. Where the royal blue version bursts, this one holds back. A deep, sunburst navy that only reveals its color in full light and returns to almost black in the evening. It's the blue of suits, the one that goes with all formal wear. The silver Indo-Arabic numerals bring their calligraphy, the fluted bezel its relief. The dressiest of the blue Arabic Dials.

A sunburst navy blue dial

The sunburst draws fine rays from the center to the rehaut. And makes the navy breathe between ink and steel depending on the angle. Applied Indo-Arabic numerals, date at three o'clock, polished hands: legibility remains complete. 316L steel case in 36 or 39 mm, sapphire crystal, transparent case back revealing the mechanism. It's the most chameleon blue in the collection. Navy in a meeting, midnight blue at the restaurant, bluish steel on the terrace. The five-row jubilee accompanies this discretion with its supple drape.

A Seiko movement made in Japan

The NH35 caliber of this hand-assembled Seiko Mod comes from the Seiko Instruments lines. Automatic, 24 jewels, 21,600 vibrations per hour, 41 hours power reserve. Winding by wearing or by the crown, hacking seconds for precise setting. Accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds per day, the caliber's standard.

The suit watch

It's the accomplice for meetings, signings, and weddings in dark attire. The navy extends the suit sleeve instead of cutting it. It remains credible on weekends with a gray knit. Water-resistant to 5 ATM, it allows showering and surface swimming. Just avoid diving with it. For ceremonies in dark attire, it advantageously replaces the expected black watch.

Offer it to a man of habits

For a departing colleague, a mentor, a father. Navy blue doesn't upset anyone, and the Arabic dial prevents banality. It's the serious gift that keeps a touch of the unexpected. 3-year warranty, delivered in an SKL case.

How to choose a men's watch size

From 17 centimeters wrist circumference, the 39 mm is the right choice. The 36 mm makes it a unisex watch, discreet under a cuff. The jubilee bracelet adjusts link by link.
