This is the black version of the Relio Solstice, the Relio Solstice Noir, and features an outstanding black dial with a very strong sunburst effect.
Why We Love This Watch
The Relio Solstice Noir epitomizes everything we look for in a microbrand sports watch, with the stunning good looks of a dress watch that is beautifully proportioned with a balanced design, understated innovative features such as the indices arrangement or elegantly recessed watch case sides that set this microbrand apart from the mainstream, and sunburst dial colors that really pop without being loud. All this meshed with true field watch capabilities with a rugged and reliable high beat movement, 100 meters of water resistance with a screw down crown, scratch resistant sapphire crystal on both the front and back of the watch, including multiple layers of AR coating, BGW9 Swiss Super-LumiNova lume, and a solid link bracelet with milled diver's clasp containing a double push button release and micro-adjustments.
We really love the Relio Solstice Noir, and appreciate the classic design and great attention to detail, from the strong taper on the elegant solid H-link bracelet (from 20mm to 16mm) with screwed pins, to the clean and symmetrical dial design with a unique arrangement of chisel-point indices. Even the 38mm size is just perfect for the sports / dress watch role, and with under 12mm of height, this versatile timepiece can easily slip under the sleeves of a business suit, or be the light field watch for all your adventures, from the boardroom to the beach and beyond.
