The beauty of this watch is this brilliantly textured dial, sadly the main picture I have here doesn’t quite do it justice, but on the sales page you can zoom in on a better image to see the detailing. Among those things are the unidirectional rotating bezel, water-resistance of 100m, and a rubber band fitted with a buckle clasp.

The SNKK27 also features an orange second hand, steel indices with luminous material and an internal scale in 5-minute markings as well as a steel bracelet and exhibition case back. The SNKD99 features a fixed steel bezel and matching stainless steel bracelet for a clean, uniform look.

This affordable Seiko 5 watch features a gold plated finish and makes use of the Seiko 7s26 automatic movement. About as basic as a Seiko 5 gets, the SNK809 is available in several dial and strap colors and features a 37mm stainless steel case with fixed bezel, luminous hands and Arabic numeral indices, 5-minute markers, a Hardlex crystal, a day-date complication at 3 o’clock, and the automatic Seiko 7S26 movement with 40 hours of power reserve. One of the main reasons for this is that they’ve upped the water resistance rating to 100m in these watches.
