"Batman" Blue-Black GMT (Seiko - Mechanical) with stainless steel bracelet
The legendary "Batman" GMT with a mechanical Seiko NH34 GMT movement (a.k.a. Seiko 4R34).
A GMT complication is a very well-sought-after feature of modern-day Dress-Dive watches. The extra GMT hand with color highlight brings about a premium upgrade to the very popular dive watch. The sandwich lume dial (BGW9 Lume) along with the stainless steel bracelet further upgrades the overall look and feel of this watch.

STAINLESS STEEL WATCH BAND – LITE VS REGULAR
Our stainless steel watch bracelet comes in two variants: the lite version and the regular version. There are mainly two differences:
1: Our regular version of the stainless steel band is constructed from solid links while the lite version is made from hollow links.
2: Our regular version of the stainless steel band features screw-in links for easy adjustment, while the lite version will require a separate tool (included in the kit) for length adjustment

This is our Pro Tool Kit, a DWC in-house design from top to bottom. This is a lot more than a mere step up from standard Amazon watch-making tools; it is a collection of tools we designed and crafted to give you the best watchmaking experience possible.
And in watchmaking, just like many other crafts, the quality of the tools does affect the quality of the outcome.
