It also has a calendar, making it a useful watch for everyday use.

The hands and indexes are luminous , ensuring visibility even in the dark.

The spherical sapphire crystal gives the watch a retro feel. Sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant and easy to maintain its beauty.

The back of the watch is a see-through case back, allowing you to see the automatic chronograph movement made by Seiko Instruments (SII).

It comes with an original Sturmanski case, which is convenient for storing the instruction manual and the watch itself. Of course, it also makes a great gift.
