Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with Stainless Steel Bracelet – SNKL45K1

Product Information

We welcome all manufacturers including Casio G-Shock, OMEGA, Rolex, Breitling, Rolex and Tudor, Seiko, Grand Seiko and others. Much like the SARB033 or pieces from the Grand Seiko line up, it’s versatility is it’s selling point. Although not the most accurate, and not the most decorated, these cut corners help keep costs down in the movement, and in the watch. They have a hardlex crystal which isn’t as scratch resistant as sapphire, their included bracelets and straps are mediocre and sometimes downright uncomfortable, and the included 7S26 is reliable, albeit basic, and can be inaccurate. The included Jubilee bracelet is one of the most solid I’ve ever worn, and I’ve tried dozens of third-party Jubilees from companies like Strapcode for watches like my SKX.

However, while the watch will survive for generations, if properly looked after, you will need to have the movement serviced by an experienced watchmaker. It has a beautiful, all-polished case with dimensions that include a 37mm diameter, which is on the smaller side by modern standards, but at 13mm thick, it has just the right amount of wrist presence for almost any size wrist. The bracelet on that particular model is not as attractive as the SNKL45 and I don't like the baton hands that much on a Seiko. The watch doesn’t have a sapphire crystal, which helps prevent scratches, nor a screw-down crown, making it a deal-breaker for some. You should allow about half a centimetre (1/4 inch) of slack to prevent it being too tight on your wrist.Seiko 5s are often compared to watches much more expensive than they are for their subtle, understated designs that give them a luxurious look. Sunburst watch dials can be a bit flashy, as they vary greatly in different lighting conditions, while glossy or matte dials usually look rather neutral. With its 37 jewels, heirloom-worthy movement, screw-down crown, and timelessly elegant dial, this could easily become the crown jewel of your collection.

Back to the front of the watch, we see dauphine hands with touches of lume, a day and date function and black dial in a pin-striped tuxedo style. The pips, however, look slightly bigger on the on the SNKL23 so they might glow better and longer but I don't really know if this is the case. If you would like to change your settings or withdraw consent at any time, the link to do so is in our privacy policy accessible from our home page. The craftsmanship that goes into Grand Seiko watches, however, is perfectly capable of rivaling Rolex.The radiant blue sunburst dial of the SRPE53 compliments the polished bezel, and brushed bracelet, although this watch would look just as at home on a NATO strap or leather band. Credit is subject to status and affordability, and is provided by Klarna or PayPal, depending on the finance option selected. With so many different Seiko 5 models to choose from, there are a few things you will want to keep in mind to ensure you pick the right one. If you want a watch that’s a bit more rugged and tough, it’s hard to beat a field watch like the SRPG35.

With a dizzying number of collections and models to choose from, the best Seiko watches feature outstanding movements, unrivaled affordability, and versatility in terms of where you can wear them.If you’ve always thought of Seiko as a “cheap” watch brand, I hope this list of the 14 best Seiko watches for men can change your mind. The alternative, the type of canary yellow gold number that you might catch on Gordon Gekko’s wrist, takes a deft sartorial sensibility to pull off. For example, my grandfather’s gold Seiko 5 from 1989 has been passed down to me, and 33 years later, it still runs perfectly fine, without ever having been serviced.
