Seiko Men's Analogueico Automatic Watch with Stainless Steel Strap SNZH57K1

Product Information

Much of that has to do with the glossy blue bezel that really adds a sense of depth to the overall design. If you’ve messed with a few divers from the brand, you’ll probably find this to be one of the more “compact” designs available. But what makes it really interesting are those Arabic numerals by 5 minutes increments and the blue dial that really contrast with the yellow accents.

I should note that the model pictured here is a ‘J’ variant, which features both English and Arabic on the date wheel. I think some of Seiko’s QC issues have gotten worse and with the 7S series, after moving away from the A-type balance people are getting some really, really bad watches. And you get the best looking 01V0 case from the Seiko 5 line, which is comfortable being only 37 mm in size. Lug width is 22mm and water resistance is apparently 100m – but I wouldn’t count on that feature for anything other than hand washing. As if it wasn’t enough, it features the best Seiko 5 case out there, with a great shape and bezel – not to mention it’s comfortable on the wrist all day long.Sword hands, big hour indices generously filled with lume, rotating bezel with markings every minute and contrasting black and white day / date wheels: this design screams rugged. And the thick steel bezel keeps the whole style in check, making for a very balanced design overall. But if you like flieger watches (German pilot watches from the WWII period), you know how difficult it is to find a pilot watch smaller than 42 mm. Personally, I think these look best on a sailcloth strap, which really completes the whole Fifty Fathoms look if that’s what you’re going for. If you like simple models, but like the added pop and interest of a textured dial, then look no further: this timepiece is as good as it gets.

I have to wait much longer for domestic packages and this watch has travelled half of the world in a nick of time!However, I think this blue version is perhaps the most loved and universally wearable iteration you can get. In some other cases, we take a cheap watch and replace all the mediocre parts with more premium ones. One of the best things about this caliber is the 21,600 bph vibration rate and the Diashock protection.

Whether you're looking for a reproduction Z199 to add to your vintage 6309 or want to dress up your lates SARB, the Uncle has you covered! It’ll probably never enjoy the same kind of following that the SKX has but I’d argue that the folks enjoying these watches don’t really care. His first love being mechanical watches, he decided to pursue a career in engineering as he was entranced by the science behind its gears. Yes, it’s good and offers somewhat good scratch resistance, but it doesn’t stand against the sapphire crystal’s superior quality.

You also get a nice, pronounced trail of minute hash marks, an even distribution of text, and a framed day/date window that really doesn’t feel obtrusive. I mean the sunburst blue, the matching bezel and the chunky 42mm case definitely have something to say. Those shiny hour markers are balanced by the pilot hands… a combination you really don’t see every day on a dive watch.
