Why you should buy a Seiko Judging by the aesthetics and build of the SRPD59, it’s perfect for the rugged, active guy who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. Or wet! The 100m water resistance is fine for a casual swim (just no prolonged deep diving). Seiko SRPD59 features: You’re getting the same updates as the rest of the Seiko 5 line: 4R36 movement, 41-hour power reserve, 100m water resistance. Additionally, this has a day/date display.

About Payment

The Seiko SZSB012 is what you’re looking for. It’s categorized as a dress watch, sure, but can easily be worn with jeans and a T-shirt. The blue gradient dial in particular complements the overall vintage aesthetic nicely. You could swap out the stainless steel bracelet for an aftermarket 21mm leather band to push the vintage look even further. The biggest hang-up, assuming you have smaller wrists, is the 42.5mm size for all models. Unfortunately there isn’t a 37mm equivalent in the Seiko 5 line (yet), so if you enjoyed the size of the SKX013, the new Seiko 5s will feel a bit bigger. So if you’re looking for something funky and different, not classic, the SNKP23 is worth your consideration. Seiko SNKP23 Automatic Stainless features: Overall, the SRPG27’s styling is simple and utilitarian with heritage details any military watch lover would appreciate. The SNZG13, which is very similar to its replacement, the SRPG27.

Another notable feature is the solar quartz movement. Solar quartzes have great utility and accuracy. No winding needed, of course, and battery changes are few and far between. The different model numbers, SNK803 / 5 / 7 / 9, seem to signify the alternative color options only. Each watch is solidly built with a stainless steel casing and Seiko’s exclusive Hardlex crystal. So if we had to offer you our favorites right now, which would they be? Which Seiko pieces would we recommend without hesitation? The Alpinist is typically seen with a stamped calfskin leather strap, although a stainless steel bracelet option is also available. If I see someone wearing a green dial watch while walking down the street, the first thing I’ll think of is the Seiko Alpinist. It’s a timeless classic from Seiko and no other green dial watch will ever be able to one-up it.But! I have a small wrist myself (6.25″) and I personally don’t think the 42.5mm size looks too big on the wrist. That’s because the lug-to-lug measurement is only 46mm, so it’s not swallowing up my entire arm (visually). Most of our recommendations will be tool watches, simply because there are so many outstanding models in this wide-ranging category. No, Seiko’s main lines aren’t considered luxury, although Grand Seiko (now completely separate from main-line Seiko) is being built up as a global luxury watch brand.
