A real everyday watch

In my watch box for almost 3 years, this watch is part of my daily life as the perfect everyday watch. Its limited edition dial (Mountain Sunset) sets it apart from the others. On a steel bracelet, it accompanies me to the ends of the earth thanks to its robustness and waterproofness. And on a leather strap, it is very easy to wear with a suit, a shirt or a more casual outfit. Its versatility is its strength. Although adventurous by nature, its polished bezel gives it a resolutely vintage dresswatch look. The cherry on the cake is the transparent back that allows you to admire the 6R35 caliber with its 72 hours of power reserve. The main flaw for me is the following: the precision of the caliber, remember to check this aspect, despite the quality of the latter, Seiko tends to tolerate too much drift ... mine went back to after-sales service, now it's ok: +10sec/day.
