The Hull series evokes an appreciation for the cushion case in the design language of timepieces. Through careful design and fabrication, the Hull, like its namesake is a streamlined, eminently wearable nautically inspired timepiece. A robust build in 316 L stainless steel delivers 100m of absolute water resistance. A domed, anti-reflective coated, sapphire infused mineral crystal lens offers a crisp and clear view of the dial. The dial itself is designed in the unique "California" style design arrangement of both Arabic and Roman indexes on the same face. First seen as early as the 1930s in editions from brand such as Rolex, the refurbishment of these dials from The reasoning for describing this orientation as a Californian dial remain a topic of discussion, nonetheless, the art-deco inspired origins are another interesting part of the history of wristwatch design. Swiss Superluminova is applied liberally on the hands and indexes, delivering low light visibility and legibility. Paired with a gently textured background, bold hour and minute hands, railroad like minute markers the watch is complete as a watch for every day wear.

First developed by Swiss watchmakers Frederic Piguet and Jaegre-LeCoultre in the 1970s the ingenious Seiko VK series movement which is featured inside the Hull chronograph offers the hassle-free precision of quartz engineering fused with the hand feel and action of mechanical calibers. A standard quartz crystal-based movement is mounted by the mechanical components necessary for a chronograph to function. This results in the satisfying snap back to zero of the hands as the chronograph resets and the glide like smooth sweep of the chronograph seconds hand during timing. The Hull chronograph also features a grand-date dual aperture date display that is perfectly positioned to offer clarity and symmetry to the overall design and appearance of the watch.
