In a world now so entranced by minimalist design, cute pastel colors, and plain cement finished cafes, Yellow gold may seem out of place in 2021. Undeniable in its association with, the “Sopranos”, and the cinematic spectacle: “The wolf of wall street”, and the American psycho; yellow gold may seem
brash, gaudy – a product of a bygone era fitting only to be on grandpa’s wrists.
Notorious for its
association with the overly ambitious pretentious, and conniving, a solid gold piece of timekeeping instrument in one’s wrist may seem too much in our day and age. But beyond the bling, the poor associations, and the probability of an in-your-face declaration to the whole world that you are wearing
a watch – yellow gold gives off a different type of sheen and warmth that the all-too-common stainless steel finished timepieces can never replicate. Paired with the right outfit, and hungry mind set, yellow gold can exude confidence, maturity, and strength of character – case and point: the movies
abovementioned.
Before you today lie the elegant golden iteration of the famous Seiko SNKL case. The Seiko SNKL50. With brushed and polished case design coupled with a warm gold PVD finish and an equally iny oyster styled golden bracelet. With elegant dauphine hands and a deep dark sunburst slate gray dial and simple markers, this tried-and-true case shape adds more wrist presence and feel to an already
stellar watch design. With its 18mm lugs and 42mm lug to lug length, the SNKL50 wears great on the wrist. Despite the attention-grabbing hue of a solid gold watch, the understated dark slate gray dial akin to that of the SNKL45 and matching blacked-out date wheel balances out the watch quite well. Add
a dark colored leather wrist band and EUREKA! You have an elegant gold-plated timepiece that will turn heads while you trot your way around town. And did we mention that gold looks better on warm toned
skin complexion? Therefore, if you are sick and tired of the oversaturation of bland colors all around, grab some courage and a dash of bling, grab yourself a Seiko SNKL50.
