Sternglas S01-SD01-MI04 Sedius Mens Watch

The functional sector dial, together with the creeping second hand, makes the Sedius a reliable everyday companion. The Sedius model combines two contrasting design philosophies to create a watch with a special character. The Bauhaus style stands for minimalist design and functionality. The Art Deco style, on the other hand, stands for elegance, decorative elements and sensuality. Two design principles that should, by definition, be mutually exclusive. The Sedius has a classic sector dial that reflects the duality of the two styles. The very concept of the dial is a blend of Art Deco and Bauhaus: several concentric circles are divided into the eponymous sectors by lines. The center of the dial remains free and clearly separated. This division ensures functional, visual clarity and makes the dial particularly easy to read. For this reason, sector dials are sometimes also referred to as “scientific dials” or “railroad dials”. The special feature of the Sedius is the analog quartz movement VH31 from Seiko, which retains the reliability of a quartz watch but at the same time has a creeping second hand. The 40 mm case made of robust, polished 316L stainless steel encloses a satin-finished, white-silver dial with a round cut. The new leaf hands and the day/night engraving on the case back create a beautiful contrast and play with the combination of Bauhaus and Art Déco. The duality of Bauhaus and Art Déco is also reflected in the movement: the special feature of the Sedius is, of course, the quartz movement VH31 from Seiko, which retains the reliability of a quartz watch, but at the same time has a creeping second as in an automatic watch. This movement is also known as the Mecha-Quartz movement. The stepper motor of the quartz movement has been modified so that it beats at 4 beats per second (2Hz). The movement has a battery life of up to 24 months and a rate accuracy of ± 15 seconds per month.
