SKL Sub Two-Tone Black

The SKL Sub TwoTone Black is a dive-style Seiko Mod watch that pushes the bicolour to the evening. Its finely crafted black dial catches the light differently than a plain lacquer. And the five-row gold and steel jubilee bracelet does the rest. The diver becomes a dress piece. This is the version you choose when the watch needs to go from the office to the restaurant without stopping for sports. Gold is present everywhere, never dominant.

A sophisticated bicolour black dial

The surface of the dial features fine reliefs that shimmer under the spotlights. And the gold-rimmed indexes stand out sharply. The graduated bezel combines gold and black, the date remains at three o'clock. 40mm 316L steel case, sapphire crystal, transparent back. Under the spotlights of a restaurant, the elaborate dial sparkles with micro-facets, an effect that plain lacquered dials do not offer. The two-tone jubilee extends this sparkle all the way to the clasp.

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, hacking seconds when setting. Accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds per day, the calibre's standard.

The bicolour for evenings

Open white shirt, navy blazer, lingering dinners: it's made for the city after six in the evening. Please note, its documented water resistance is 1 ATM: light splashes only, remove it before any contact with water. Evening photos love it: it catches flashes better than any steel watch.

A very dressy gift

For someone who already wears a steel diver during the day. It becomes the evening watch, for special occasions and family photos. 3-year warranty, delivered in its SKL case.

Jubilee or Oyster

The two-tone jubilee is its natural bracelet, flexible and shiny; the two-tone oyster brings it back to daytime. Same price in both cases, link-by-link adjustment at a watchmaker's.
