According to the brand, Seiko roughly translates to “exquisite.” But for everyone else, it might as well mean “value.”
No other watch company on the planet offers a better price-to-quality ratio, thanks to an unparalleled level of vertical integration whereby Seiko designs, manufactures and assembles nearly component in-house.
Even by Seiko’s standards, however, the fan-favorite 5 Sports SKX is in a league of its own.
The watch comes with a 4R36 caliber — the same in-house mechanical movement as Seiko’s beloved “Turtle” — day-date display, 100 meters of water resistance and refined stainless-steel case that borrows one of the brand’s most iconic looks.
What’s more, its budget-friendly $325 price tag makes it both the perfect starter watch for the budding enthusiast, as well as a dependable beater for the hardcore collector.
