The 40mm brushed stainless steel case is an industry first using Seiko’s “Ever-Brilliant Steel,” which is usually used in Maritime applications due to its corrosion resistance; the case shape sits on the wrist like a cushion, Seiko gets ergonomics so right. A lug-to-lug length of 48mm and a thickness of 14mm gives the watch an impressive wrist presence; on the right side at 3 o’clock, there is a screw-down oversized signed crown. The unidirectional bezel has a black insert with a 60-minute scale in white numerals, and a box-shaped sapphire crystal sits above a sunburst “Glacier” blue dial. An outer minute chapter ring with applied oblong indexes outlined in stainless steel coated in LumiBrite marks the hours, and at 3 o’clock, a framed date window. Broad baton hands expertly brushed are coated in LumiBrite complemented by a lume-tipped light blue sweeping seconds hand. Text is applied to the dial at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock, respectively. On the reverse, an etched dolphin is in the centre with the model number and number out of 1700, inside an automatic Seiko 8L35, 26 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour; the movement has hand winding and hacking functionality for your convenience, based on the Grand Seiko calibre 9S55 it is hand-assembled at the Shizuku-Ishi Watch Studio in Morioka.
