Seiko SKX013 Watch Review

SKX013 Dial & Case Design

As you’d expect from a professional diver’s watch this Seiko timepiece features an easy to read high visibility display. The numerals have a bold finish to them and are coated in a high quality lume, as are the watch hands making them easy to read in dim lit conditions, like when you’re diving. There’s a useful day and date display at the 3 o’clock position too.

The casing is made of a strong stainless steel and features a uni-directional 100 click bezel with minute numbering.


SKX013 Type Of Crystal The Seiko SKX013 features a Hardlex crystal glass protecting the dial. This type of glass is considered to be in the middle of the range between a mineral glass and sapphire glass. It offers a good level of protection from scratches and knocks as well as giving you some shatter resistance. SKX013 Watch Movement At the heart of the watch is an automatic 7S26 21 jewel movement. This is a popular movement that’s found in many of Seiko’s automatic timepieces. It has a 43 hour power reserve and a 21,600 BPH giving you 6 ticks per second for a smoother movement.This movement doesn’t feature manual winding or hacking. SKX013 Watch Size Normally dive watches appear quite large but this model from Seiko has a 38mm casing diameter (not including the crown). The thickness comes in at approximately 12mm which isn’t too chunky either. SKX013 Strap The strap of the watch is made of a nice thick durable rubber that offers a good level of comfort and has a width of 20mm. It fastens with a standard buckle style clasp with a stainless steel catch. This strap can be replaced if you want to. SKX013 Extra Features Extra features of the watch include a day and date display as well as a good coating of lume on the hands and hour markers. SKX013 Water Resistance Rating This watch features an extremely good Diver’s 200m water resistance rating. This diver’s 200m or 20 bar rating makes it suitable for scuba diving at depths not suitable for saturation diving.
