Its electrical conductivity reliably protects sensitive movement components – especially the circuits of quartz movements – from electrostatic discharge. At the same time, the surface is lightly padded, preventing cases, case backs, and lugs from scratching during work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat differentiates the SEIKO mat from European work surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eMost watchmaker's work surfaces available in Europe – including the well-known green Swiss classics – are simple plastic or rubber mats without electrical conductivity. In contrast, the SEIKO A-KTZ003 is a genuine conductive ESD mat: Static charge is dissipated before it can reach the sensitive circuitry of a quartz movement. Especially when changing batteries and working on quartz calibers, this is a real technical advantage, not a marketing argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn addition: SEIKO produces its tool line primarily for its own service and the Japanese trade – the same tools used to handle SEIKO movements in the factory and in authorized workshops. If you're overhauling Japanese calibers (SEIKO, Citizen, Orient), you're working with the mat designed for that purpose. This tool program is not regularly distributed in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn Japan, the mat is a standard tool for battery changes, overhauls, and general repair work, and is part of the official tool list for the national watchmaking examination (時計修理技能検定, levels 3 to 1). The muted green color is easy on the eyes and makes small parts, screws, and springs easy to spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eConductive surface – protects quartz circuits from static electricity\u003cbr\u003ePadded, scratch-free surface for cases and bracelets\u003cbr\u003eIdeal for battery changes, overhauls, and all repair work\u003cbr\u003eOriginal SEIKO Japan – Reference A-KTZ003\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e300 × 200 mm, thickness 2 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew, original packaging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNote\u003cbr\u003eImproper use of tools can damage watches.
