Seiko Day-Date Style Day Mod - Black Arabic

Black with a sunburst finish and silver numerals in Arabic-Indic script: the DAY MOD - BLACK ARABIC is the highest-contrast watch among the models with Eastern Arabic numerals. It runs on an NH35 automatic movement with a date display, with the date at 3 o'clock. There is no day-of-the-week display. At 12 o'clock there is a window with Arabic script. The 316L stainless steel case measures 40.5 mm, a fluted bezel frames the dial, and it sits on a five-row Jubilee bracelet.

The black is anything but flat. Fine rays run from the centre to the edge, and tilted into the light the deep black turns into a dark anthracite with a bright wedge travelling across it. On top sit the Eastern Arabic numerals in silver, cleanly drawn and easy to read from most angles. The result is a watch that suits a dark suit just as well as jeans and a leather jacket, at the office during the week and at a restaurant table on the weekend.

Within the line, black is the quietest tone. The two blue sisters with the same script, one baby blue and one royal blue, bring colour into play and sit in 40 mm cases. The grey Arabic DAY MOD shares the 40.5 mm size and the Jubilee bracelet with this watch but sets stones on a grey gradient. If you are after clear numerals on a dark ground, this is the one.

The black in numbers

• Case: 316L stainless steel, 40.5 mm across, approximately 12 mm tall, 20 mm between the lugs; the fluted bezel adds structure without adding visual bulk
• Movement: Seiko NH35 automatic with a date display, wound by the motion of the wrist; hand-winding and hacking seconds are on board, the power reserve is approximately 41 hours at a beat of 21,600 bph
• Crystal: sapphire, scratch-resistant and anti-reflective, so the black dial stays readable in bright light
• Bracelet: Jubilee in 316L stainless steel, five rows with polished centre links
• Water resistance: 5 ATM
