I bought this watch on impulse a few years ago because I just thought it looked cool. It does. The all steel but black unidirectional bezel along with the stately stepped dial combined with the raised Hardlex crystal really makes this watch a looker. It is a classic Seiko diver. The lume is fantastic. Included is the box, original hang tag, extra longs and a manual.
I bought this watch and used it as a desk diver, but quite frankly, it hasn’t seen a lot of use. There are some fine scratches but for the most part is as new. There is nothing wrong with the watch, it just didn’t see a lot of wear because of other watches in my collection.
It has the venerable Seiko 7S36 movement which has two more jewels than the 7S26 but otherwise shares the same base. It just runs, and runs, and runs. There isn’t anything fancy about it. It resists shocks well, and is an automatic. It does not hack but when the mainspring is near exhaustion you can place gentle reverse pressure on the crown and it will stop the second hand, also known as poor man’s hacking. It does not hand wind but a few rotations of the watch in your hand will get it started. The beauty of this movement is that it keeps good time and can go a long time between servicing.
