SKL Fluted Green Roman

The SKL Fluted Green Roman is a Seiko Mod watch with Roman numerals that combines two eras: Latin numeration, two millennia old, and emerald green, the reigning color of contemporary watchmaking. The white numerals unfold on the deep dial like inscriptions on a jewel box. The fluted bezel makes the rim sparkle, and the jubilee bracelet adds flexibility. The result looks nothing like something dated: classic and modern are in perfect balance.

Roman numerals on emerald

The satin emerald green serves as the background for the applied, crisp white Roman numerals, with the date at three o'clock. 316L stainless steel case in 36 or 39 mm, sapphire crystal, fluted bezel, transparent case back revealing the movement. The white-on-green contrast offers legibility that few colored dials achieve. And the color gains depth with every hour of the day. The white of the numerals is applied in thickness, which gives them a tiny cast shadow on the green: a relief like ancient printing. The fluted bezel frames the whole like a passe-partout.

The Seiko NH35 automatic movement

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

Where it makes a difference

Meetings, cocktails, dinners: wherever black watches look alike, the emerald with Roman numerals stands out. Its 3 ATM water resistance covers rain and splashes, but not showering or swimming. In a meeting, it offers an opening topic for those who know how to look at wrists.

A gift with dual appeal

Classics will see the Roman numerals, modernists the green. It's the rare gift that appeals to both schools of thought. 3-year warranty, in its SKL case.

The right diameter

39 mm for wrist sizes 17 centimeters and up. 36 mm in a unisex format, highly sought after for emerald dials. The jubilee bracelet adjusts link by link.
