D2869S is one of Sea-Gull’s the most popular models. Nevertheless some customers would like to have it blank-spaced. By using the same movement, this timepiece is produced to cater for the specific demand. Very long and slim hands are shaped in sword. So are the hour markers. The creamy white dial makes it appear not only clean but also a little bit of retro-atmosphere.
Multifunctional watches with subdials often run on ST25. D2869S initially gives me an impression of a 1.5L little car mounted with bike racks on top, trailer homes on back vs. ST25's more powerful V6 pickup truck. A close examination proves D2869S is a well-built watch running flawlessly. The upper and lower buttons depress nicely to offer solid control of weekday and month. The price is reduced to half of its ST25 equivalent with similar features.
