SKL Mariner White Dial

The SKL Mariner White Dial is a Seiko Mod dive watch that reverses the codes. The engraved swell is white, foam rather than abyss. And the graduated black bezel encircles it like night borders day. White dive watches are rare, those with patterns even rarer. And this stark contrast gives them an immediate presence on the wrist. This is the Mariner for summer, readable in full sunlight, radiant on tanned skin, the most photogenic of the family.

Foam under the black bezel

The waves engraved in white create a play of pearlescent shadows that shifts with the light. And the black bezel draws the eye to this spectacle. Luminescent encircled indices, black hands for maximum contrast, date at three o'clock. 40mm 316L stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, transparent case back. The engraved white catches shadows like a sheet in the wind: the watch always seems to be in motion. In front of it, the black bezel acts as a frame, in the photographic sense of the term.

A genuine Seiko NH35 movement

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

The diver for sunny days

Terraces, boats, light outfits. The white with waves is a summer accessory in its own right, and a luminous counterpoint to winter coats. 5 ATM water resistance: shower and surface swimming covered. Just avoid diving with it. On tanned skin in summer, no other diver in the collection competes with it.

A gift that changes everything instantly

For someone who only has dark watches, the white with engraved swell renews the wrist in a single gesture. It's the gift with the best effect-to-price ratio in the family. 3-year warranty, in its SKL case.

Well-managed contrast

Black hands on a white background offer the best readability of the entire collection, in full sun as well as indoors. The steel bracelet can be adjusted link by link at a watchmaker's.
