Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with Stainless Steel Bracelet – SNKE01K1

Product Information

The dial of the SNZG is good example of a utilitarian dial that while displaying considerable information, remains well balanced, clean and legible. Along the very outer rim of the dial is a raised internal bezel with large luminescent hash markers for hours and small non-lume hash markers for minutes/seconds. This raised bezel not only ads depth to the dial, but also draws your eye toward the hour/minute/second markers with a greater ease. A common issue with affordable dive watches is that the bracelet is often the part that is compromised with the most. Considering the price, this watch is no exception. But with that said, since it is exactly what we expect, it’s not a huge deal. The bracelet has some downsides which include rattle and a somewhat low-quality feeling. Accurate as necessary. For its price point its well within acceptable deviation. You might want to have the local watchsmith do a cleaning and adjustment if its that important.

You really need to charge the lume with an ultraviolet light to get this watch to glow to its maximum brightness. Because the sparsely applied lume material, I find it a bit hard to read the time in total darkness.

This is generally a very simple procedure. We can do this for you, or you can get the watch adjusted locally. Option 1. Specify your wrist measurement and we will adjust it before being sent Beneath the center of the hands, the depth rating, and automatic, and jewel designations are printed onto the dial. Actually, I never got to size the bracelet for my wrist because a savvy forum member in SCWF had a brilliant idea on how to upgrade the factory issued bracelet (thanks, “Ultraman Pat"!) 🙂 He found out that the 22mm solid link bracelet for the 1st generation Seiko Atlas models could be substituted instead by removing the end pieces. Also, note that each five-minute marker on the chapter ring has applied Lumibrite which helps with the legibility together with the hands. As a military field watch should, it puts the utmost importance on legibility. Overall, the dial is clean and legible. Seiko 5 SNZG13j1 movementIf there’s one thing I know about Seiko, they have myriad models of Seiko 5s that many of them have short production market life spans. Seiko does produce their best selling designs for years and drop those that aren’t profitable. Therefore they move on and introduce new models to keep the market fresh. What you will notice about the case is that it has a satin-brushed finish on the bezel and lugs, which is what you see when looking at the watch for the most part. But as a contrast, the sides of the case are polished, showing that even on affordable watches, Seiko pays attention to the details. Naturally, since most of what you see is satin, it gives the watch a very tool-like look, which is exactly what you’d expect from a military-inspired watch like the SNZG13j1. Seiko's timepiece unites a solid stainless steel case with a silver wristband created from stainless steel. Seiko SNKE01K1
