Why SWC loves it
It’s got a bell on it! We just love how playful, uniquely engineered, and extremely well made these Seiko 4006 series Bell-matics are. Pushing the 2’o-clock crown inwards advances the date, pulling it outwards sets the alarm. In position one the 3’o-clock crown winds the alarm (No mainspring winding on this, it winds by wrist movement only!), position two sets the outer alarm ring, offering a chiming alarm every 12 hours, and position three sets the time.
