At a glance
Pulled straight from the spec sheet, framed for the buyer. The editorial verdict is the Sensei's take above.
Sensei Says
NH35. An entry-tier movement (think Seiko NH-series): rugged, serviceable anywhere, and easy to live with. Not decorated, but it just works.
At 39 mm it lands in the modern sweet spot, a long 52 mm lug-to-lug favours larger wrists.
Fairly priced for what it is.
