Review Seiko SNXS79 - WahaWatches Review Seiko SNXS79 - WahaWatches

In case any rumors might have unsettled you, rest assured – the SNXS models aren’t a homage to anything. In the watch community, there are more than enough people who’ll tell you that in the last of these three categories, Seiko is king.The reason for this is, the leather might squeeze down to the proper size, but a 20mm spring bar will not squeeze down to fit a 19mm lug width. The thicker markers at the 6 and 9 o’clock and the double marker at 12 provide orientation and is a nice attention to detail. The rich, dark dial juxtaposed against the pronounced bezel of the bright, polished case really packs a punch. The good news is, there is clearly no shortage of Seiko 5s to choose from, and even if the SNXS79 doesn’t do it for you, there are plenty of other expensive-looking Seiko 5s to choose from.

Seiko fits the watch with the automatic in-house caliber 7S26, which you can view through the timepiece's transparent case back. The parcel has been bogged down at their warehouse for 14 long days, then handed over to another intermediary, who handed it to their branch in PL, then shipped it via the Polish Post’s courier service. Grey market specimens can be found in the US and Europe, however, they won’t be covered by Seiko’s warranty. While Hardlex is tougher than an ordinary mineral crystal, have no illusions – it’ll eventually scratch.

As someone I know spoke of the Seiko 5, you can just rest on the couch all day, and get up only when you need to, and it’ll still give that movement just enough motion of the rotor to keep it going.

The white day-date window provides some symmetry to the lume filled markers and is also framed in the same high-polished metal. This is one of the best dials you can find in a Seiko 5 and the rectangular hour markers and baton hands exude class against the brilliant sunburst grey dial. This means that straps with quick release spring bars usually are a poor choice when looking to size up.The offset crown positioned at 4 o’clock is a classic Seiko design aesthetic, but it also has the benefit of not digging into your wrist when wearing it. While durable, the SNXS79K’s stainless steel bracelet can rattle when you shake it since it uses hollow end links instead of solid end links used by more expensive watches. The recessed crown allows it to sit almost completely flush against the case, which adds to its clean look. Seiko uses alphanumeric codes to distinguish between various models and variations within a specific collection. The weekday and date window on the SNXS79 comes with a polished frame, and the display itself features a white background that contrasts beautifully with the dark dial.
