SKL Nautil Chrono Black

The SKL Nautil Chrono Black is a Seiko Mod chronograph watch that dresses up timekeeping in black. The black dial aligns its subdials with a light border, pushers flank the cushion case. And the integrated steel bracelet unwinds its silhouette in a single stroke. The contrast between the sporty function and the evening wear makes all the salt of this piece. It times morning workouts and holds evening dinners without changing.

A Chronograph in Dark Attire

The subdials stand out against the satin black with fine hands and light raised markers. Timekeeping remains immediately legible. Pushers and crown are integrated into the side of the case, sapphire glass above, transparent case back. The brushed and polished alternating steel bracelet tempers the black of the dial: the whole remains luminous on the wrist. The light border of the subdials avoids the illegible all-black effect of poorly designed dark chronographs. The pushers respond with a clear, crisp, mechanical click.

The Seiko VK63 Meca-quartz Caliber

This Seiko Mod runs on a genuine Seiko Instruments VK63. A meca-quartz chronograph, quartz for the time, mechanical module for the chrono. With that instant reset that enthusiasts recognize at the first click. Without winding, the battery ensures several years of operation.

Its Two Lives

In the morning, it times intervals; in the evening, it passes for a well-made black sport chic. Few watches combine the two so naturally. Prudent water resistance of 3 ATM: rain and splashes, no shower or swimming. From Tuesday intervals to Saturday dinners, it goes on without changing.

The Gift for the Active

For those who run, swim at the gym, cook, or coach. The chrono is the tool, black is the style. 3-year warranty, delivered in its SKL case.

The Mechanical Detail

Press the bottom pusher: the seconds hand instantly returns to zero, without sweeping. This is the signature of meca-quartz, and it never gets old. Bracelet adjustment at a watchmaker.
