SKL 1904 Modforest Green

The SKL 1904 Modforest Green is a square Seiko Mod watch that plants a forest within its steel frame. The gradient green dial lightens in the center like a clearing and darkens towards the corners like an undergrowth. White Roman numerals cut through the light within it. Green on a square watch is a rarity. Strict geometry and organic color respond to each other instead of clashing. A piece of balance, between the architect and the gardener.

The undergrowth with right angles

The green gradient ranges from celadon to fir. And the white Roman numerals trace their meridians with the sharpness of an engraving. Polished hands, discreet date, 38mm 316L steel case with visible screws, 12mm thick, sapphire crystal, transparent case back. Brushed steel frames the color like a window frames a landscape. The white of the numerals takes on a creamy hue when in contact with the green, softening the whole towards a watercolor feel. The steel screws keep the structure firm.

An authentic Seiko movement

The NH35 caliber of this Seiko Mod is manufactured in Japan by Seiko Instruments. Automatic with 24 jewels, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, 41 hours of power reserve. The second hand stops when setting the time. Accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds per day, which is the standard for this caliber.

Where it breathes

Velvet jackets, unbleached shirts, country weekends: natural materials are its domain. At the office, it's the touch of color that remains serious. 3 ATM water resistance: rain and splashes, no showering or swimming. At veranda lunches, among plants and light wood, it feels at home.

A gift that goes beyond the usual

For those who already own the classics. The square green offers a piece that no one else at the table will be wearing. Promotions, birthdays, thank you gifts. 3-year warranty, in its SKL case.

The format that suits everyone

At 38mm, it lends itself and is shared: it's a couple's square as much as a collector's. Link-by-link adjustment at a watchmaker.
