A Custom Watch, using Seiko's NH71 Movement, assembled by Provenance Watches.
Features:
The Dial. The laser etched sun and clouds reveal the gold-plated surface beneath, and black “Seigaiha” waves cover the bottom half of the dial. A subtle snow-covered Mt Fiji can be seen to the left of the pinion. While it might not seem as though there are any obvious dial markers, all 12 are accounted for! The 12 o’clock is marked by the seagull, the 10, 11 and 2 o'clock markers are represented by clouds, and the 1 o’clock cuts through the exact centre point of the sun. The 3 and 6 o’clock are denoted by the Kanji characters for Sea and Sun. 4, 5, 7, and 8 o’clock are covered by the white waves, and the gold dial marker is 6 o’clock.
The Case. Golden, 37.5mm in size, polished all over, and dressy. The case houses a top hat box crystal (with anti-reflective coating) for a vintage look. Through the exhibition case back is Seiko's decorated and golden NH71 movement.
The Strap. Soft black leather with quick-release, and a matching golden buckle.
The Movement. The movement is a regulated and automatic NH71 (dateless movement) made by Seiko. I regulate to +/- 5 seconds per day or better. Its Geneva Wave rotor and brushed bridges are visually more interesting than the standard silver and undecorated NHXX silver movements.
The Crystal. A Top Hat crystal with a clear anti-reflective coating. Gives the watch a very vintage dress watch feel.
The Precision. Buy with confidence knowing your watch movement has been regulated to +/- 5 seconds per day

The NH movement series by Seiko is a reliable automatic movement with optional manual winding and second hacking. It supports date, day-date and GMT functions as showcased by the different styles of watches in my shop. Please note, while I may use Seiko parts in my custom watches, I am not affiliated with Seiko in anyway and these watches are not official Seiko releases. These are beautifully hand-crafted and originally designed watches using Seiko's NH movement series.
