SKL Aqua Sky Blue

The SKL Aqua Sky Blue is a sporty Seiko Mod watch that takes turquoise all the way to the strap. Its checkered dial and rubber strap boast the exact same lagoon hue. And the cushion case with polished sides forms the steel bridge between the two. This color continuity is the signature of the most coveted sport-chic watches on rubber straps. It creates an absolute summer piece, light on the wrist and impossible to mistake for anything else. The vacation watch that refuses to come home.

Turquoise from dial to strap

The dial features a raised checkered pattern that adds depth to the milky hue, beneath luminous applied numerals and a date at three o'clock. The matching rubber, flexible and textured, extends the color seamlessly. 41 mm 316L steel case, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, screw-down crown protecting the mechanism, transparent case back. The whole piece is lightweight and made for the outdoors. The dial's checkered pattern and the rubber's texture echo each other, motif for motif. The continuity isn't just in color; it's in material. A detail confirmed by touch.

The Seiko NH35 automatic caliber

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

Its life in the great outdoors

Terraces, summer markets, weekends by the water. The rubber can handle an active lifestyle and rinses clean with water. Its documented water resistance remains at 3 ATM. Rain and splashes are fine, but no showering or prolonged swimming despite its resort-like appearance. From the Saturday morning market to the beach, it sets the tone.

A full-sun gift

For a summer birthday, a vacation departure, a recent graduate heading for sunny climes. The all-turquoise is an airplane ticket on the wrist. 3-year warranty, in its SKL case.

The comfort of rubber

The strap is cut to the exact length of the wrist and fastens with a buckle. Adjustable at home, without a watchmaker, for a wear that's easily forgotten.
