Seiko SKX - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

I present to you my Seiko SKX007 a watch that I acquired a long time ago, this watch was put on the market by the Japanese manufacturer Seiko in 1996 and they withdrew it from sale in 2019. It is a real diver that has proven itself because it is a real tool watch it has the automatic movement 7S26 a caliber renowned for its reliability and robustness it is one of the watches that has been the best-selling by the Tokyo brand, with a special strap to go on the diving suit branded Seiko and the crown is screwed, in the same segment the watch that rivals it is the Citizen NY0040 that I also own because I love divers and this Seiko SKX is legendary and I will never part with it, it has a typical wave bracelet stamped Seiko and which reproduces the bottom of the watch case its diameter is 42mm.

The skx is my first automatic watch! I wanted something solid, goes everywhere and especially easy to wear. With its metal bracelet it weighs a little but as soon as you put a nato bracelet everything changes and what I like about this model is the ease of changing style depending on the bracelet In terms of precision it is not the best but as they say it does the job :)

When I received this SKX ordered this summer 2023 I remember the emotion caused when I received it. It was THE watch that I would have liked to have when I was younger when I wore festina that did not last very long on my wrist. The emotion quickly went down the same day when I saw that it was moving forward by 20 minutes per hour!!! After disassembly, changing the balance spring and adjustment, it is now around -15 / +15 seconds per day which suits me Aesthetically there is nothing to complain about. The lume is excellent. It is super well proportioned even for my small wrist. It is a winner that would have deserved a permanent place in the Seiko collection
