Tierfon Timepiece #5 — ‘Kuromaguro’ (クロマグロ)

This one came off the bench and I actually stopped to stare at it. First Tuna shroud case I have ever worked on, and I get the obsession now. Kuromaguro is black tuna, and the name stuck the second the case was on the bench: thick protective shroud, high-shouldered lugs, that chunky industrial tool-watch shape Seiko made famous with the Marine Master. Utilitarian, a little mean, and exactly the kind of case I have always wanted to work on.

The movement is an NH35 automatic. 24 jewels, 21,600 bph, hacking seconds, hand-winding, about 41 hours of reserve. Green lume plots on the dial, a blue-lime hour hand cutting across them so the color pops in daylight and the glow separates at night. 

NATO on the lugs. Completely Unnecessary strap compass. Done.

Watch has been tested and is in 100 percent working condition.

All watches come with a 6 month limited warranty. If you are ever unhappy with your purchase or an issue with the movement arises, pleases message me and I will address it.
