Every metal parts are anthracite DLC coated.
Bi-directional bezel, double-domed sapphire, thick flat bottom ceramic insert and powered by NE15c.
My original designed dial produced in Hungary. The logo is in seal ancient scripture of my ancestor surname. On the bottom says "aurora australis" which is the name I given to this watch.
It’s not the prettiest or coolest watch around but it’s surely is a unique one off piece.

That's a pretty good tool watch!

This is a great watch — I like the font you use. I think it is copperplate gothic, correct? You write That you printed the dial in Hungary. Is this a good place for dial printing or was it just a place over the street?

Great work.
I like a lot the combo dial/hands!

Thanks. Yes, that’s right the font is one of many copperplate variations (I can’t remember which) altered #1 with pointy head so it doesn’t look too generic. I choose this Hungarian custom watch company GriGri because of their super friendly service and their pad printing lume technique which I prefer.

Thanks, finding matching lume colour that doesn’t out shine another is a big pain because they are all from different companies.

not the prettiest and coolest, why? it’s one of the most prettiest and coolest seike based build I have seen.
I like it very much

I agree, it's a beautiful and unique build.
If you want to keep it two handed I think I saw on Aliexpress some second hand's cup to cover the seconds pin.
