Seiko presents the new Seiko Mai which is a tabletop alarm clock that is a larger version of the Japanese brand's iconic SKX dive watch capsule. It is complete with the familiar numbered bezel that sits against the minimal body. The bezel does not rotate, but the clock comes with a night feature that reflects the original.
Additional features include the alarm function that is able to be toggled from the back with snooze as well. The Mai clock comes in seven different colorways and it is also modeled after its own watches. The clocks are portable for travel and it functions from a single AA battery. Rounding out the design is a quartz movement inside and a silent sweeping seconds hands.
