Seiko presents the new Seiko Mai which is a [tabletop alarm clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-oclock) that is a larger version of the Japanese brand's iconic [SKX dive watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seiko-prospex-1968-heritage-divers-gmt-spb519) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seiko-prospex-speedtimer) 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.
