Seiko Men's SNK803K2 Beige Nylon Automatic Beige Dial Watch

Product Information

A brown leather nato or zulu strap would add just the right amount of distressing and rough and worn look. These are a collection of high quality extremely affordable timepieces that offer brilliant value for money. A pilot wouldn’t want a polished watch that creates all sorts of glares and potentially blinding reflections while piloting an aircraft. I like the new brushed case over the blasted, though I’m finding the case still a bit too small at 39-ish.

But let’s be honest, how many of us are actually going to use a pilot watch for its intended purpose? Like the SNK807, the SNK809 will be perfect for people that love to try new straps every few months.

He created Gentleman Within as a way to document his own style journey while helping others along the way.Yes, these SNKs and other Seiko 5s do offer a great opportunity for some spiffy "minimalist" mods on the cheap. As such, canvas straps are a much more recommended alternative for field watches like the Seiko SNK803. The scratches that it does have on the matte finish bezel just adds a bit of character to it I think.

However, I must admit that this model will be a bit harder to pair with the right outfit, and almost impossible to dress up. I have no gripes with Seiko’s hardlex crystals, and find them scratch-resistant enough for everyday use, though it would be great to see this upgraded to sapphire down the line. As such, those looking for a more elegant-looking watch should check out the Victorinox FieldForce Classic Chrono Ref. The Seiko SNK803 has a gorgeous creme dial that provides great contrast with the black numerals and hands. It is a Type-B flieger style layout, which includes a triangle at 12:00, an outer ring of numbers 5-55, and an inner ring of numbers 1-12.To see the movement and feel the ticking on your wrist, it’s a quality that a quartz or digital watch can’t match. While this water resistance capacity enables the Seiko SNK803 to survive any accidental splashes or showers, it is a little lacklustre for a modern field watch.

If I learned one thing about the watch community during my time on YouTube is that they love to hate on watches without any kind of heritage.Unlike many watches today, which prefer oversized crowns that protrude visibly out from the cade, the Seiko SNK803 opts for a mid-sized crown that is hidden by its thick case, almost invisible to the eye at first glance. One of my favourite features on this watch is actually hidden from most observers, it’s the exhibition caseback that lets you take a peek at the inner workings of the movement through the rear casing of the watch. It also shows off a matte black dial, which is adorned with minute markers on the rim of the dial and long, silver-tone sword hands.
