SKL Royal Chrono Blue

The SKL Royal Chrono Blue is a Seiko Mod chronograph watch that sets its counters against a stormy sky. A smoky blue, graded from steel gray to deep navy. The three auxiliary dials float in it like instruments in the mist. The octagonal case with eight screws and the integrated bracelet hold the whole together with their usual rigor. It is the chronograph for cool elegance, the one that measures time in a suit. And its changing hue makes it a different object every hour.

A stormy blue with counters

The smoky gradient lightens the center and darkens the periphery, giving the circled counters the relief of portholes. Luminous hands, central chrono seconds hand, discreet date. Octagonal 41 mm 316L steel case, profiled pushers, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, transparent case back, integrated bracelet with butterfly clasp. The blue goes from gray to navy with the light: the watch has its own weather. The smoky gradient makes each counter slightly different from its neighbors depending on the light. The dial has a watercolor depth, rare for a chronograph.

The Seiko VK63 meca-quartz caliber

This Seiko Mod embeds a genuine VK63 manufactured by Seiko Instruments. The precision of quartz for time, a mechanical module for the chronograph. And that instant reset that marks great chronographs. The battery ensures several years of operation, without winding.

Its terrains

Offices, train stations, dinners: this is the chrono that lives in the city, timing connections as well as presentations. 5 ATM water resistance: shower and surface swimming covered. Just avoid diving with it. In a blue shirt cuff, the gradient makes the perfect connection.

A useful and tasteful gift

For those who want a complication without sacrificing sobriety, smoky blue is the royal road. First big positions, birthdays. 3-year warranty, in its SKL case.

Reading detail

The contrast of the counters has been designed to remain legible in the gradient. A glance is enough, even in the middle of a meeting. Butterfly adjustment at the watchmaker's.
