It is from the sixth generation of the Alpinist line and was introduced in 2009. It is also one of Seiko’s longest running sub-brands. The Case…

Owner Review: Seiko SKX013 – Small diver with a big punch

The Seiko SKX013 is one of my favorite dive watches, at 38mm it is one of my favorite daily wear watches. One of my favorite aspects of the skx013 is the size, it really makes it the most wearable in the SKX line up especially for those of us with smaller wrists. The SKX013 is…

Owner Review: Seiko Monster SRP309

Today, the Monster is a well-known, beloved and, dare I say, iconic watch from the Seiko line-up. It’s arguably one of the best and most recognizable designs from the brand, along with the Samurai, in the past couple of decades or so. But this was not always the case. When the aptly named Seiko Monster…

Owner Review: Seiko Samurai SRPB49K1

I’m going to be honest with you. I wouldn’t buy myself a Seiko Samurai SRPB49K1 today. I bought this watch about 1.5 years ago, when I was just getting into watches. Back then, I didn’t know exactly what my tastes and preferences were going to be. I knew Seiko was respected for their affordable divers…

Owner Review: Seiko Alpinist SPB117J1 – The 6th Generation

First released in 1959, some say 1961. The Seiko Alpinist SPB117J1 is now in it’s sixth generation. Gaining a massive following over the years.

Owner Review: Seiko Presage Shippo Enamel SPB075J1

What I have here is the Seiko Presage Shippo Enamel – SPB075J1. The vast and immeasurable lineup of the Seiko Presage range can be likened to ‘how long is a piece of string’. Case in point, there’s the OG Seiko Cocktail Time – that in itself comes in a variety of colours, there is the…

Owner Review: Seiko SKX007 – What’s left to say?

What can you say about the Seiko SKX007 that has already had so much written about it before? According to Jack Forster “It’s probably the single best value at any price point”. I don’t think you would find many people who would disagree with Jack’s view. It has also been a popular choice of watch…

Owner Review: Seiko 5 Racing SNK375K

Some time ago I found myself wanting a smaller automatic sports watch at a reasonable price that would fill the gap between the more precious automatics and the full on G-SHOCK sports watches in my collection. Enter the Seiko 5 Racing SNK375K. Watches with a staggering history and heritage all of their own and a…

Owner Review: Seiko Perpetual Calendar GMT 8F56-0080

The Seiko Perpetual Calendar GMT 8F56-0080 was produced way before I got into collecting watches. It features an original and distinctive case design that looks like no other watch on the market, even today. In addition to the unique case design, it has a nicely integrated bracelet that nicely tapers down to make the watch…
