Batman Bezel. Black Dial. Red Seconds. The Dark Knight Automatic.

The Alba AU4071X is a men's mechanical automatic watch that takes everything the AU4075X does and delivers it in a darker, more commanding form. The same black and blue "Batman" 24-hour two-way rotating bezel sits above a deep black sunburst dial — where the yellow AU4075X shouts energy, the AU4071X speaks with authority. A red seconds hand cuts through the black dial with precision, a single vivid accent that gives this watch its character. The magnified cyclops date window at 3 o'clock is the premium detail that sets both AU models apart from everything else in the Mechanical range. Powered by the Japan-made Y675 automatic calibre — self-winding, battery-free. Japan movement backed, Seiko quality assured.

Why You'll Love It

The AU4071X and AU4075X are two expressions of the same ambitious automatic. The yellow AU4075X makes a statement through colour; the AU4071X makes its statement through darkness. The Batman bezel carries the same watch culture weight on both, but the black dial with red seconds hand gives the AU4071X a more serious, more versatile character — equally at home with casual wear and a sharp outfit. The red seconds hand is the detail that defines it: a single vivid accent that brings the whole composition alive without compromising the depth of the black dial.
