- No bracelet supplied with the watch
- 50m water resistance is not intended for diving
- Meca-quartz movement is battery-powered, not fully mechanical
FAQ
Is the Mare Blu automatic or quartz?
The Mare Blu is meca-quartz. A battery and a quartz oscillator keep time, so it is low-maintenance and accurate to within seconds a month. There is nothing to wind, and a battery typically lasts a few years before it needs swapping.
What movement does the Mare Blu use?
The Mare Blu is powered by the Seiko VK64 from Seiko, a meca-quartz caliber. Being meca-quartz, it is battery-powered and keeps time to within seconds a month.
Does the Mare Blu have a date?
No — the Mare Blu has no date display. Some movements in this class can drive a date, but this one is specced without it, leaving a cleaner, more symmetrical dial. If a date is essential, look for a dated variant or a different model.
How water resistant is the Mare Blu?
The Mare Blu is rated to 50 m. That is enough for hand-washing, rain and brief swimming, but not for diving or prolonged submersion. Whatever the rating, avoid operating the crown or pushers underwater, and have the gaskets checked periodically to keep it reliable.
How big does the Mare Blu wear?
At 38 mm across with a 46 mm lug-to-lug and 11.5 mm thick, the Mare Blu wears as a versatile mid-size watch. Lug-to-lug is the measurement that really decides fit, since it sets how far the case spans the wrist — 46 mm suits most wrists, and smaller wrists especially should check that figure.
What movement does Mare Blu use?
Furlan Marri lists the Mare Blu with the Seiko VK64 mecha-quartz chronograph movement.
How large is Mare Blu?
Official specs list a 38mm case, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness with the glass.
Is Mare Blu still available new?
The official Furlan Marri product page marks Mare Blu as retired, so new availability depends on old stock or secondary-market listings.
