SKL Fluted Gray Roman

The SKL Fluted Grey Roman is a Seiko Mod watch with Roman numerals that embodies the elegance of understatement. Its matte, dense slate grey dial lets the silver Roman numerals provide all the relief. A monochrome grey that evokes stone facades and flannel suits. The fluted bezel provides the only sparkle, the jubilee bracelet the only flexibility. It's the urban Roman, the one you wear without thinking and notice on others.

Slate and Silver

The grey of the dial is deep without being black. This gives the applied Roman numerals a soft, very legible contrast. Date at three o'clock, 316L steel case in 36 or 39 mm, sapphire glass, transparent case back. Under glancing light, the slate reveals a fine grain that gives substance to the monochrome. Nothing flat in this sobriety. The grey was chosen matte to avoid the mirror effect of polished anthracites. The watch remains legible in the sun. It's a choice of use as much as aesthetics.

A genuine Seiko NH35 calibre

The NH35 in this Seiko Mod comes from Seiko Instruments' Japanese workshops. Automatic with 24 jewels, 21,600 vibrations per hour, 41 hours of power reserve. Winding by wearing or by the crown, stop-seconds function for setting. Accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds per day, the calibre's standard.

Its wardrobe

Flannel, grey jeans, charcoal coat: it extends the urban wardrobe to the wrist. At the office, it's perfectly appropriate. Its 3 ATM water resistance covers rain and splashes, but not showering or swimming. Rainy Mondays suit it as well as Friday nights; that's its strength.

The gift for the discreet

For those who like neither gold nor colors but deserve more than a mundane watch, the Roman slate is the perfect answer. 3-year warranty, delivered in its SKL case.

36 or 39 mm

The 39 mm for wrists of 17 centimeters and more. The 36 mm as unisex, where the monochrome becomes a jewel of character. The jubilee bracelet can be adjusted by a watchmaker.
