From the iconic nautilus and Japanese Seiko comes the hybrid, Seikonaut.

Our own reinterpretation, every part, notches and crevices was redesigned from scratch. Creating a whole new allure and a refinement of the iconic design.

Now in DLC BLACK EDITION!! Every visible exterior of the watch case when worn is coated with black DLC. Right down to the little screws on the bracelets and joints.

What is DLC?
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a class of amorphous carbon material that displays some of the typical properties of diamond. As the name suggests, diamond-like-carbon means that the layer is as scratch-resistant as diamonds. DLC coating has 5 times the hardness of a 316L stainless steel. With DLC being harder than steel, this means that a DLC coated watch will have a very high resistance to scratches that you will not have to worry about scratching your watch. This coating will not disappear if you accidentally do something that would otherwise leave a huge mark on some PVD-method coated watches. A feature that is highly coveted by many watch enthusiasts.

This Seikonaut case comes complete with clear AR sapphire, sapphire caseback, screw down crown and solid brush and polished bracelet. Additionally, it has a water resistant of 200m.

Designed to fit all of our dials (28.5mm) and original NH movements (grey dial holding spacer).

**Please note that assemble watch option will assemble the entire timepiece ready for use and requires 2-5 business days prior to shipping.

Top Tier Experience with LA

Excellent quality, fit and finish on the watch that Adriel built for me. I chose to combine the 40MM Seikonaut case with a Flieger Type A (Troposphere Pilot V2) no date dial and the Polished Black Pilot hands. Couldn't be happier with the result.

Exquisite case

The finish on this case is underrated and under sold. I was expecting nice but this is much nicer than some OEM watch cases I have. Fit I may as well not mention, everything is perfect. The finish is wonderful, the mix of polished and brushed surfaces is pleasing to the eye. The clasp has smooth, satisfying operation. The bracelet is not cheaply made it does not rattle or clink. Overall it is very well built and worth the expense, I highly recommend this case and bracelet to anyone looking for such a thing. 10/10

How large of a wrist does this fit? I'm currently having to return another case and bracelet with the butterfly style clasp because it was too small since my wrist is probably about 8.25". If this won't fit is there any way to get extra links to make it fit?

Adriel from LuciusAtelier.com

Hello Mark!

Thanks for expressing interest in our mod parts!

>> How large of a wrist does this fit?
The case is 4.6cm and the bracelet is 17cm. So a total of 21.6cm long, which translate to 8.5".

>> If this won't fit is there any way to get extra links to make it fit?
So sorry, there is no extra links for DLC Black Edition.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Cheers,
Adriel
