Measuring 40mm in diameter and 48mm lug-to-lug, this watch will look great on all wrists, big to small. The black coating, dial, strap and even hands make for a striking contrast with the red details.

This watch features a spin on theCalifornia Dial where the top-half roman numeral layout is replaced with four Japanese hiragana, (ro), (u), (ni), and (n). When these four characters are read together, you get the word Rounin, a title given to a samurai without a lord or master to serve.

The caseback showsa Daruma doll dressed in Samurai armour a traditional Japanese talisman of good luck for achieving ones goals. The two eyes of the Daruma are left intentionally blank for the goal-setter to fill in the first eye once they have decided on a goal; then the second one once they have achieved that goal. Behind the Daruma you can glimpse the reliable Seiko SII NH35 movement and balance wheel ticking away.
