Seiko Men's SKX009K2 Diver's Automatic Blue Dial Watch

 (17 customer reviews)

First of all, for those of you that don't know, the Seiko SKX007/009 are essentially the spiritual successor to the Seiko 6xxx diver's watches that were so popular as tool watches in the Vietnam War era. At a glance, it's hard to tell them apart - the main differences being the subtle differences in the case shape and the shape of the indices on the face. The 007 is the current black bezel version, the 009 has the "Pepsi" red/blue bezel for a little added color in your life. It uses a Seiko 7S26 automatic movement which is a decent reliable movement with only a few drawbacks - more on that later.

I have come the age (50) that I wanted an automatic watch that had the Day of the Week. I also think they have more "Soul" that a quartz watch. I also have a Rolex. But I wanted something I could bum around in and not worry much about hurting it. It's like a older car with carburetor, it's not perfect but it's not suppose to be. Mine runs fairly accurately...now that I stopped messing around with main spring adjustment thing on the inside. I have too much time on my hands I guess. It runs just as good as my Rolex for several thousands $$ less and looks great.

Bought mine almost seven years ago and wear it all day, every day, swimming, working out, or for a night on the town. Besides my wedding ring, it's the only jewelry I wear, and I've have had countless compliments on it, and never a moment's problem. Hope to have it another seven years. Best watch I've ever owned.
