But the playful dial is balanced with a subdued set of hands and hour markers, which makes it suitable as an everyday watch. And you get the best looking 01V0 case from the Seiko 5 line, which is comfortable being only 37 mm in size.

Seiko 5 SNZH55 - More Than a Fifty Fathoms Homage! Owner Review: Seiko 5 SNZH55 - More Than a Fifty Fathoms Homage!

As if it wasn’t enough, it features the best Seiko 5 case out there, with a great shape and bezel – not to mention it’s comfortable on the wrist all day long. The grey sunburst dial on this thing is an absolute beauty. I bet you will not be able to take it off your wrist. The way that dial plays (inside and outside) is perfectly balanced with the simple yet elegant baton hands and rectangular hour markers. 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. What does Seiko 5 mean? the “5” in Seiko 5 stands for the 5 main features of this line of Seiko watches: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. Then, I would replace the proprietary Hardlex crystal. Yes, it’s good and offers somewhat good scratch resistance, but it doesn’t stand against the sapphire crystal’s superior quality. The H57 isn’t as water-resistant as its premium counterpart. The 55 fathoms can handle 1000 feet (300 meters) underwater. The Seiko watch is only resistant to 330 feet (100 meters). Its stainless-steel body helps keep water off. The material is not only waterproof but it doesn’t corrode. You can’t dive with the timepiece. Seiko says that you can only snorkel and swim with it. Unfortunately, it’s not ISO 6425certified.

Seiko Bracelets – Uncle Straps Seiko Bracelets – Uncle Straps

Not only the SNK809 is very affordable and offers an automatic movement, but it’s one of the most enjoyable and versatile pieces out there. We think wearing the Seiko 55 Fathoms is comfortable. Its strap is stainless steel, which doesn’t collect sweat. Its Swiss counterpart has a high-quality leather strap. It screams money, but the material causes you to sweat. Another issue about leather is that many people are allergic to it. As the material in their straps is so different, this is another thing that doesn’t make them look identical. Dial & Case 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. 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. Basically, we want to replace all the “common” parts of a generic-looking watch and give it a unique look. In some other cases, we take a cheap watch and replace all the mediocre parts with more premium ones.The Japan-made variants tend to perform better as users have complained against the Malaysian plant’s QC process The case is not its selling point. The flat lugs make it look a bit awkward for smaller wrists. But if you happen to have 6.5+ inch wrists, you’re good to go – its 37 mm size suits pretty much everybody. What about the Blanc Pan? Well, it’s also automatic. It comes with the Caliber 1315 movement. You’re getting an impressive 150-hour power reserve and 35 jewelson its gears. What’s not to like about this watch? The gold accents make the whole piece pop, while still being appropriate for many situations. Those shiny hour markers are balanced by the pilot hands… a combination you really don’t see every day on a dive watch. I happen to like the metal bracelet. But if you don’t, pop it on a blue Nato strap or Cordura strap with contrasting stitching, and it will completely change the look of this already great looking timepiece!
