FM-1 Midnight Minimalist – Understated Elegance, Perfectly Sized

There’s something timeless about simplicity. The FM-1 Midnight Minimalist is a watch that strips away the unnecessary and celebrates pure form and function — in a compact, elegant 36mm case.

Crafted using our FM-1 platform, this model takes inspiration from the clean lines of vintage field and dress watches. The polished Explorer-style case is paired with a smooth, polished bezel that gives the piece just the right amount of shine without being flashy. Its modest proportions make it perfect for smaller wrists or anyone who prefers a classic, understated size.

What truly sets the Midnight Minimalist apart is the dial. A deep, matte black finish serves as the backdrop, evoking calm, focus, and sophistication. The polished baton hands and applied polished indexes catch the light subtly, creating just the right contrast against the dark dial. A practical date window keeps the design grounded in everyday usability, without disrupting the dial’s clean aesthetic.

Completing the look is a flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, giving you clarity and durability in equal measure. The watch is fitted with a 5-link bracelet, delivering comfort and a refined vintage appeal.

Inside, the Seiko NH35 automatic movement powers the FM-1 Midnight Minimalist — a reliable, workhorse caliber known for its dependability and ease of servicing.
