About this deal

The Seiko 5 "Military" are among the most sought-after sports watches from the Japanese watch manufacturer. The design of these automatic watches resemble field and pilot's watches. Again, it's a very legible watch and unlike the automatic Bulova, this has a more affordable quartz movement. They're built for a very specific job. It's not an exaggeration to say that they have to function in life or death situations. In practice, that means that military watches have an obvious military DNA. This is a great looking watch, I just wish that Seiko did thr exact same model also with a 40 mm case. The 36mm case looked too small on my wrist. Again, I like that. It's authentic. It's how Hamilton and other suppliers to the military used to make their watches. And if you want a small military watch, this is the era when they were in abundance.

On average, a delivery to the EU will take between 3-5 working days and delivery to the rest of the world will take 5-7 working days.

The ref. SNZG13K1 is paired with a three-piece link stainless steel bracelet. The ref. SNZG15K1 is an identical timepiece, but mounted on a textile strap. Both versions start at around 180 USD. I don't want to rehash the history of the military watch here. What I'm more interested in, is today's military watches. There is a wide array of automatic watches with designs inspired by diving watches in the Seiko 5 Sports collection. These include the refs. SRPD51K1, SRPD63K1, and SRPD55K2. The first two models belong to the Seiko 5 Sports family, while the latter is part of the Specialist series. All three watches are similar in terms of technology and design.

There's no strict answer - although as I mentioned - when governments are shopping for watches they will usually specify some basics.To me, it's similar to the specs that governments issue for military watch contracts. So I've often looked at the Seiko 5 range for military watches. I have a Smiths PRS-29A (reproduction of the Smiths W10). What makes it really special to me is #1 Authentic design and specs #2 antimagnetic #3 polished steel hands. What's important for us is that the watches built to these specs didn't just have the same features. They started to look the same. The GG-W-113 watches have a distinct look. As do the G10s.

The Seiko SNKE01K1 isn't a military watch. Instead, it's a watch that would work well for the military. And that's good enough for me. It's a fairly typical American military watch. This design was used by most of the big names in American watchmaking.Hundreds of thousands of the G10 has been issued to British troops over the years. It's an icon. The infantry watch most associated with the British Army. Finally, this watch has a water resistance of 30 metres, making it suitable for light splashes. Key Features: Exclusive Seiko 7S26 Calibre
