At a glance
Pulled straight from the spec sheet, framed for the buyer. The editorial verdict is the Sensei's take above.
Sensei Says
Sellita SW300-1. An upper-tier movement: tighter regulation, better materials and a longer power reserve. You feel the quality in the winding and the rate.
At 38 mm it lands in the modern sweet spot, a 48 mm lug-to-lug suits most wrists.
Fairly priced for what it is.

The maker
Design-led, diver-rooted, deliberately scarce.
