Sensei Says
The specs, in plain English
The movement
Sellita SW200-1. An upper-tier movement: tighter regulation, better materials and a longer power reserve. You feel the quality in the winding and the rate.
On the wrist
At 39.7 mm it lands in the modern sweet spot, a short 44 mm lug-to-lug keeps it friendly on smaller wrists.
The value
Fairly priced for what it is.
