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

Product Information

It’s quite normal actually. In fact, the modders work this particular model to change the boring design of the dial. Being an air and earth watch doesn’t mean it’s afraid of water: it is water resistant to 100 m, so surface swimming is allowed no problem.

Seiko is king in the world affordable mechanical watches and if you talk to several members of the watch hobbyist community, it’s a safe bet to assume that their collection started with a Seiko. There are a number of models that have been recommended – many of which are some iteration of a Seiko 5 or the classic SKX007. Today, we’re reviewing something a little different and a model that seems to be growing in popularity as an alternative, introductory Seiko watch. It’s the Seiko 5 SNZH53*, a watch that is just a tad bit underrated in my book and something I feel many collectors can turn to if they’re put off by the strictly utilitarian nature of several other entry-level Seikos.

Case

The watch is not too big. Its case stretches 1.65 inches (42.1 mm)across. The Seiko device isn’t light but it’s got some heft to it. It comes in at 5.82 ounces (164.9 grams). If you’re wondering, the Fifty fathoms has a 1.77 inches (45 mm) case – unfortunately, we don’t know how much it weighs. If you look at its bezel, you’ll notice toothed edges. They aren’t that prominent. Its duping has more shark-like teeth. That means, Seiko SNZH55 already is a decent enough watch that can only get better with proper modding. The next alternative is the Orient Ray II. If you’re into the watch industry, you should know that Seiko is the Orient’s parent company.

A note about the integrated bracelet: you won’t be able to change it for a third party strap or bracelet. But to me, this is not a problem as this watch shines on a more sporty steel bracelet anyway. But the real star of the show is the bezel insert: the Arabic numerals peak through a transparent layer, which immediately gives this watch a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms look. Are Seiko 5 watches any good? Seiko 5 watches don’t have the best movements and can have sub-par bracelets. But they offer tremendous value for money: these are great affordable automatic watches with a great design, loved by many enthusiasts. The watch can handle quite the dip underwater. Its water resistance is 330 feet (100 meters).Stuhrling says you can snorkel with it on, but not dive.Again, it’s one of those pieces from the Seiko 5 line which could very well be your one and only watch. With 50 m of water resistance, it won’t be able to withstand surface swimming, but it isn’t afraid of rain and hands washing. As you know already, Seiko SNZH55 is an automatic watch. What does it mean? There are small mechanical parts called jewels inside the case that moves intricately to tell time. But where do you start? There are hundreds of Seiko 5 watches out there, and it might take you ages before finding the ones that look the best. Not to worry: you’ve come exactly to the right place! The timepiece is not automatic. It’s a Japanese quartzdevice. It has the ultra-accurate Japanese Miyota inside of it.

The timepiece can handle the same amount of water as its counterpart. This unfortunately means that it’s not as water-resistant as the Fifty Fathoms.While Orient Ray II is a Submariner style dive watch, SNZH55 stands apart. I would call it a good thing as the Rolex homages are too common and people look down upon that design these days. hours of power reserve and 30 m of water resistance is nothing to write about. But the overall feel is. It is at the same time subdued and enjoyable to look at. So much so that it could very well be your daily wearer.

Whenever I talk about a watch, I give the highest level of priority to movement choice. After all, movement is the element that drives the watch. And the 37 mm size makes it an instant favorite among small-wristed watch enthusiasts. And for because it’s affordable, you can join the party, too! Then, SNZH55 is not “just another cheap quality” watch. In fact, Seiko deserves a massive shutout for the impressive material choice. There are only a handful of watches in the market that comes with automatic movement.

Riding that fine line is not easy. Yet the SNKE01 rides it no problem thanks to its perfectly proportioned bezel, hour indices and very nice looking dauphine hands. Sometimes, you come across a great watch… that nobody seems to know about. The SRP513 is one of them. It’s an automatic device. The Seiko SNZH57comes with the 7S36movement. It has a 41-hour power reserveand 21 jewelsinside its gears. You’re probably wondering what a power reserve and watch jewel are. Power reserves are how long you’ll be able to have an automatic watch off your wrist. It needs the kinetic energy you produce to keep its gears moving.
