Seiko Men's SNK803K2 Beige Nylon Automatic Beige Dial Watch

Product Information

Another great Luminox watch is the Luminox Atacama Field Ref. XL.1901. As with the aforementioned Luminox Atacama Adventurer Field Ref. XL.1761, this timepiece is one of the most popular Luminox watches on the market. As mentioned before, Luminox is one of the best go-to brands when it comes to reliable military field watches. One top-notch model from the brand is the Luminox Atacama Adventurer Field Ref. XL.1761. Hailing from the Luminox Atacama Field collection, this is a robust field watch that shows off a very understated and sleek charm. Complimenting the new, larger watch dimensions, are a new, beefier handset. Unfortunately, they look a bit disproportionate and maybe could have been a bit longer to fill out the larger dial better. I also would have preferred if Seiko kept them painted all-white as they did on the SNK809. This is but a mere personal preference and neither a pro nor a con. Coming in at 39.4mm in diameter, the SRPH29 will be a mass-appealing crowd-pleaser, as watches under 40mm tend to fit the sweet spot of fitting well on nearly all wrist sizes.

This is a run-of-the-mill hardened mineral crystal that will be pretty easy to scratch if you're not careful. However, it does have the advantage of being basically non-reflective, making the dial much more legible outside of the house.

As such, it is no surprise that the Seiko SNK803 has become one of the most popular go-to military watch options today. Without further ado, let us take a closer look at the Seiko SNK803 and everything it has to offer, to see if this famous military watch truly lives up to the hype.

It’s not often that a watch you’ve owned and loved for years gets a facelift with a brand new model.

Home› Watches › 5 Reasons Why I Love My Seiko 5 Automatic Watch 5 Reasons Why I Love My Seiko 5 Automatic Watch 4 min read After looking into the watch design, quality, features, and pricing this watch received a 8.5/10 from us at The Watch Blog. The most obvious alternatives to the Seiko 5 Sports SRPH29 are the previously released SNK lineup, including the Seiko 5 SNK809, SNK807, SNK805 & SNK803. I’ve become a fan of double-dome sapphire crystals, and like the dome presentation on this SRPH hardlex, but I think it needs a double-dome AR sapphire. Sapphire needs an AR coating on the underside for it to be easy to read. I tried an Orient Kamasu, which has a non-AR sapphire. I found it too reflective and distracting. I do agree that the SRPH hardlex does seem to easily distort and is not easy to read the dial. These changes make the SRPH29 look a bit more traditional, like any other watch you’d find in a department store. For the watch collectors with many other watches, this may mean the SRPH29 is overlooked. For the Seiko fanboys – this may not be the SNK809 alternative we’ve all been waiting for. For someone just looking for a great-looking and affordable pilot watch, however, this may be just the watch for you!

jewels, 21,600 bph frequency, +-40 hours power reserve, the 7s26's really nothing to write home about, but it's still plenty to give you the itch for that next mechanical piece.The brushed finish runs uniformly throughout the entirety of the case, including the bezel, and even throughout the sides. Understanding that the SRPH29 is a pilot watch, and therefore a tool watch in nature, is key to understanding this type of finish. A pilot wouldn’t want a polished watch that creates all sorts of glares and potentially blinding reflections while piloting an aircraft. But let’s be honest, how many of us are actually going to use a pilot watch for its intended purpose? The larger dimensions of the SRPH29 are one of the biggest (pun intended) visual differences of the watch itself. Although personally, I favor the smaller dimensions of the SNK809, Seiko chose a near perfect size that will appeal to the most amount of potential watch buyers possible and I believe this was exactly their intention when designing this watch.
