Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with Stainless Steel Bracelet – SNKL45K1

Product Information

The brushed case lugs contrast with the high-polished bezel, and all-silver dial, pairing with the beautiful (although quite uncomfortably hair-pulling) mixed-metal bracelet. If you’re a t-shirt and jeans kind of person like I am, this is the perfect casual watch that doesn’t look like you’re trying too hard, especially when worn on the included NATO strap. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, you’re working with a solar-powered watch featuring a Japanese quartz movement, respectable water resistance, and three subdials with a 60-minute timer, seconds counter, and alarm. The Seiko 5 Sports often have 100 meters of water resistance which is enough to safely swim with, while older models usually have around 30 meters, which is not enough.

And though traditional wisdom points to a leather strap as appropriate for a dress watch, we evolve and we move on. Credit is subject to status and affordability, and is provided by Klarna or PayPal, depending on the finance option selected. As long as you take care of it, avoid excessively dropping or bumping it, and avoid water damage, a Seiko 5 can last a lifetime. I also like the case design better on the SNKL45, albeit I haven't seen the SNKL23 in person so that could change my opinion about the watch overall.If a product is already discounted with a strike through we are unlikely to offer any further discounts. Taking a look at this particular model, the SRPE53 is part of the “DressKX” lineup, a nickname given as it’s a dressier version of the SKX one of Seiko’s most popular dive watches of all time. At only 37mm in diameter, and 11mm thick, the SNK355 sits close to the wrist, making it an extremely dressy-looking piece that is just screaming to be worn on an exotic leather strap like a crocodile or lizard. I was gifted a gold Seiko 5 from the ’80s passed down from my grandfather, which I wear regularly, and barely shows any signs of wear.

This is one of the elements that can make a watch look cheap or much more expensive, depending on how well it’s actually executed, and in this case, it’s done to perfection. And secondly our recently growing range of 18mm straps can really transform this watch, Let’s take a look now. If you’re not a pilot but are drawn to the aesthetics and some of the features of that specific breed of a timepiece, this non-pilot pilot watch is for you.Overall, if you want a great-looking Seiko 5 that nods to the brand’s heritage, while almost looking like an entry-level Rolex to those who are none the wiser, the SNK355 may be the Seiko 5 for you. Seiko’s exclusive 7S26 calibre automatic movement powers this watch, it consists of 21 jewels and it offers an accuracy of -20/+40 seconds per day. One of those dramatic elements is its black dial featuring intricate subdials and more gold accents. In the event of you needing an extra-long wrist bracelet, which requires an extension to the original watch, we must obtain extra links from the manufacturer, and in this event, we will contact you to inform you of any possible delays or applicable charges. The pips, however, look slightly bigger on the on the SNKL23 so they might glow better and longer but I don't really know if this is the case.

When purchasing a watch which has a metal bracelet with adjustable links, we will gladly adjust the watch bracelet to fit your wrist before sending the watch to you - free of charge! Despite being oversized, the crown is tucked away at 4:00, so it doesn’t dig into your wrists and is one of the coolest, most unique features of any Seiko 5. Sunburst watch dials can be a bit flashy, as they vary greatly in different lighting conditions, while glossy or matte dials usually look rather neutral.This is an elegant piece with dramatic elements meant to elicit comments, head turns, and the throwing of flower petals in your general direction. Still, it’s a fine example of the species with its sturdy stainless steel case, water resistance to 330 feet, and rotating bezel.

If you’re the active type and don’t have the budget to amass a stable of Seiko watches for men, avoid formal looks and stainless steel bands. This makes the watch look a little more like a tool watch than its dressier counterparts, like the SRPE53 mentioned later in this article. The Liverpool strap in black is a go-to option if you want something traditionally dressy that will fit in perfectly for more smarter occasions. With a dizzying number of collections and models to choose from, the best Seiko watches feature outstanding movements, unrivaled affordability, and versatility in terms of where you can wear them. The included Jubilee bracelet is one of the most solid I’ve ever worn, and I’ve tried dozens of third-party Jubilees from companies like Strapcode for watches like my SKX.

While it’s not solid gold, Seiko is known to do a great job of plating their gold watches so that it doesn’t come off after wear. Hacking simply stops the second hand when setting the time to be able to set the time more accurately, and hand-winding allows you to wind the automatic movement by hand, instead of only when it’s on your wrist. A matching black date wheel ensures continuity throughout the entirety of the dial, with no harsh visual breaks like some other watches tend t have. It has a beautiful, all-polished case with dimensions that include a 37mm diameter, which is on the smaller side by modern standards, but at 13mm thick, it has just the right amount of wrist presence for almost any size wrist.
