Each one runs a Seiko automatic movement (NH34 GMT, NH35, NH36 day-date, or NH38 no-date) under our own SJT dial, and gets timed and regulated before it goes in the case. Sizes run 37mm to 45mm: dive-styled cases, a field watch, a GMT. Every build is a single piece, so when it sells, it's gone. Box, papers, and a one-year workmanship warranty — from a shop you can call and ask.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"swensons-original-the-memo-42mm","title":"Swenson's Original \"The Memo\" — NH36 Automatic Day-Date — Sapphire — 42mm","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"my-2\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"I'll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome watches announce themselves.
