That’s more than enough for most activities, though I’ll likely swap to a less aquaphobic piece for my seaside adventures (though I did brave the treacherous depths of my son’s intense bath times).The crown is placed at 4 o’clock which not only looks unique but also helps with comfort so it doesn’t dig into the hand.

Established in 1979, Jura Watches is the UK's leading luxury watch specialist with over 40 years of experience. I’ve also noticed that the dial has a flat, matte-like finish that doesn’t quite pop under light like a sunburst texture. The actions of the three-fold clasp and push-button release mechanism are not the last word in tactility but they’re more than satisfactory. The Seiko 5 Sport series was first released in 1963, its creation aimed at providing stylish yet affordable automatic watches to the younger generation of the 60s.In the event of you needing an extra-long wrist bracelet, which requires an extension to the original watch, we must obtain extra links from the manufacturer, and in this event, we will contact you to inform you of any possible delays or applicable charges.
