Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Self-Winding Watch with Stainless Steel Bracelet – SNXS73K

Product Information

With that said, the movements in Seiko 5 watches are known to last exceptionally long without ever needing service. It doesn’t have any screws, or even pushpins, like most bracelets, so sizing it can be extremely difficult. To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below. Grey market specimens can be found in the US and Europe, however, they won’t be covered by Seiko’s warranty.

In late 1990s I purchased a Seiko battery Chronograph which is a great watch as well no probs at all no servicing just a battery change every 5 years. 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.While not necessary to enjoy a watch, hacking stops the second hand when setting the time to set it more accurately, and hand-winding allows you to wind it, well, by hand. The hour markers on the glossy black dial are large and bold, making them easy to read at a quick glance.

If the traditional black dial design is a bit too plain, you can check out the all-black dial AND case SRPD79, the blue dial/bezel SRPD51, the green and rose gold SRPD63, or the orange SRPD59.It’s absolutely awesome that your father’s Seiko stood the test of time, though, can’t say I’m entirely surprised! While the watches are great, the included bracelet or strap on the older 5 models leaves a bit to be desired.

If that pattern extends to the 5s as well, you’re probably safe if you forget to take the watch off before going for a swim. The radiant blue sunburst dial of the SRPE53 compliments the polished bezel, and brushed bracelet, although this watch would look just as at home on a NATO strap or leather band. I thought it didn’t work, I set the time gave it a few shakes and to my amazement it works perfectly! It’ll survive a weekend trip, and if older Seiko 5s are any indicative, presumably even an actively spent week or two off. In the watch community, there are more than enough people who’ll tell you that in the last of these three categories, Seiko is king.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. While I don’t mind the way it works as long as it works, if you’re unable to settle for lack of added security, you’ll be better off swapping this bracelet for something else. If you want a watch that is simple and clean enough to be worn as a dress watch, but still sporty enough to be rocked every day, the SNKL41 may be the perfect choice for you. The more expensive variants are watches with the reference number SNXS79J1, which are JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) models, produced and sold only in Japan. The watch uses Seiko’s 4R36 movement, an upgrade over the 7S26 used in some of the older, and smaller Seiko 5s, and adds hacking and hand winding.
