The Case:

There is a variety of finishes present on the case, from vertical brushing, satin brushing and polishing which underscore the quality of the craftsmanship behind this timepiece. The stainless steel case has been coated in a super-hard coating to ensure its surfaces are highly scratch-resistant throughout. A blue uni-directional bezel displays a 60-minute scale in white around it, whilst a luminescent pip is situated at the top of the bezel. A screw down crown can be seen at the 3 o’clock position on the side of the case, whilst the case is topped with sapphire crystal glass which offer superlative resistance from scratches and shattering. The solid stainless steel case back has been engraved with Seiko’s wave logo.

The Dial:

The hour markers have been filled with LumiBrite material, as well as the silver baton style handset – this allows the wearer to view the time in the dark. The seconds hand comes presented in blue, complementing the blue tones of the bezel. The outer minute track is also printed in blue, which bestows the watch with a greater element of tonal consistency. The 3 o’clock marker has been replaced by a simplistic date window. The Seiko logo is printed on to the dial beneath the 12 o’clock marker.
