SKL Nautil Brown

The SKL Nautil Brown is an integrated-bracelet Seiko Mod watch that pours whiskey into steel. Its gradient brown dial is amber in the center and almost black at the edges. It has the hue of a single malt in bright light, striped with horizontal lines of its kind. On the cool steel of the cushion case, this warm brown creates a rare and refined temperature contrast. It's the Nautil for lovers of warm materials who refuse gold: all the warmth, no golden shimmer.

A whiskey brown on steel

The gradient creates all the depth. Luminous and amber in the center, the dial darkens towards a dark rim like the bottom of a glass. Horizontal stripes, silver applied indices, date at three o'clock. 41mm 316L steel case, 13mm thick, sapphire crystal, transparent case back. Brushed steel frames this warmth without cooling it: the combination is more subtle than a two-tone, and rarer. The stripes cross the gradient like rays in an amber glass. Depending on the time, the watch is golden, coppery or dark: three watches in one.

The Seiko NH35 caliber at its heart

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

Its wardrobe

Camel, beige, khaki, raw denim: natural tones love it, and so do autumn interiors. It's a sweater and fireplace watch. Water resistance 3 ATM: rain and splashes, no showering or swimming. Around a coffee on an autumn terrace, it's perfectly matched.

A gift of soft character

For those who choose their leathers and their coffee, the gradient brown speaks a familiar language. It's the gift for quiet aesthetes. 3-year warranty, delivered in its SKL case.

The pleasing detail

At dusk, the dial seems to light up from within, an effect characteristic of amber gradients. The adjustment is done link by link by a watchmaker.
