Alkin's debut watch, crowdfunded on Kickstarter in 2018 (Worn & Wound: it passed its goal in under a week, with a planned retail price of around USD 360). Brand specs, the same on all six store listings: 316L steel, brushed or bead-blasted black PVD, Seiko NH35A, 42mm x 50mm, 13.25mm thick, 22mm lugs, 100m, 3.5 x 6.5mm screw-down crown, sapphire with AR coating (side not stated), German vegetable-tanned leather strap in black, brown or cognac. Worn & Wound confirms the domed sapphire, the display caseback and applied BGW9 numerals with lumed hands; whether the 13.25mm includes the dome isn't stated. The 2020 green-dial Limited Edition (SS and PVD) has printed rather than applied hour markers per the brand, and an orange seconds hand; its edition size isn't stated. The white listings and the green SS listing say "full lume dial", the green PVD listing doesn't; the green SS wording looks copied from the white listing, so the full-lume dial is only certain for the white dials. All six listings (GBP 250 each) were sold out on 2026-10-31; the brand doesn't say whether the model is discontinued. Store SKUs (AM1-B-x, AM1-W-x) are reused across dial colours and aren't recorded as references. Weight not published.
