Farasute 2260 Tonneau Quartz Watch — Seiko VH64, 36mm, Day-Date, Guilloché, 9.4mm

Farasute 2260 Tonneau Quartz Watch — Seiko VH64, 36mm, Day-Date, Guilloché, 9.4mm

The Farasute 2260 is a 36mm tonneau-shaped Seiko VH64 quartz dress watch with day-date dual calendar display — day of the week in the upper sub-dial, date in the lower sub-dial — on a guilloché-textured Roman numeral dial. Blue cabochon crown, sapphire crystal, 316L stainless steel case at 9.4mm total thickness, leather strap with pin buckle and 3ATM water resistance. Available in silver, black and salmon configurations.

Key Specifications

Variants — Three Configurations

Silver / white: A bright silver or white guilloché dial with blue Roman numerals — the most formally conventional and most legible. The blue numeral on silver creates specific contrast and a colour-coordinated palette with the blue cabochon crown.

Black: A deep black textured dial with silver-tone accents — the most contemporary of the three. The guilloché texture on black creates subtle depth rather than strong light play; the dark field reads as versatile for both formal and casual wear.

Salmon: A warm salmon guilloché dial with black markers — the most vintage-formal character of the three. Salmon on a tonneau case with guilloché and Roman numerals references the pocket watch-to-wristwatch transition aesthetic of the 1920s–30s most directly.

2260 Quartz vs 2260P Manual — Same Case, Different Movement

The Farasute range at Jewelry Addicts has two watches sharing the 2260 model number in the 36mm tonneau case:

Choose 2260 quartz for day-date calendar display, quartz accuracy and lower price. No winding required.

Choose 2260P mechanical for the hand-wound mechanical ownership experience, exhibition caseback with visible movement, and higher water resistance.

Seiko VH64 — Day-Date Quartz

The VH64 is a Seiko quartz caliber with day-date complication — a reliable, low-maintenance movement producing the day of week and date displays simultaneously. As a quartz movement it requires battery replacement every 1–3 years depending on usage, rather than the daily winding of a hand-wound mechanical or the self-winding of an automatic.

For buyers who want the tonneau guilloché dress watch aesthetic with no winding maintenance, the VH64 is the correct movement choice over the hand-wound 2260P.

Tonneau Case

The 36mm barrel-shaped tonneau case follows the natural curvature of the wrist along its longer axis. The 9.4mm total thickness — 0.5mm slimmer than the mechanical 2260P — is specifically enabled by the quartz movement’s thinner architecture. At 9.4mm the watch clears any shirt or jacket cuff with the absolute minimum profile.

Lug width: 19mm — non-standard. Most aftermarket straps use 20mm. Confirm 19mm availability before planning strap swaps.

Guilloché Roman Numeral Dial with Day-Date

The concentric guilloché texture across the dial field creates changing reflections under ambient light. The two calendar sub-dials (day above, date below) create a balanced vertical layout on the dial — the symmetrical placement of the two registers gives the tonneau dial a formal, measured appearance.

Blue Roman numerals on the silver variant are specifically coordinated with the blue cabochon crown — a consistent colour accent decision across the 2260 family.

Blue Cabochon Crown

The polished dome blue cabochon on the crown is shared across the Farasute dress watch range — present on the 2260, 2260P and XK-009A. On the 2260 the blue accent is particularly visible against the silver case finish, creating the only colour element on the case exterior.

Who Is the Farasute 2260 For?

The 2260 is built for:

• Day-date calendar buyers who want both functions in the tonneau dress watch format — the only 2260 variant with day-date display
• Quartz accuracy buyers who want the tonneau guilloché dress aesthetic without hand-winding maintenance
• Lowest-price tonneau buyers who want the 2260 case format at the accessible price rather than the mechanical step-up
• Black tonneau dress watch buyers — the black guilloché tonneau is the most versatile for office and casual formal contexts
