What we like

  • Pressed sunburst dial rather than a printed one
  • Box-shaped crystal, a detail normally reserved for far pricier watches
  • 11.8 mm case height fits under a shirt cuff
  • Applied faceted markers with a dauphine handset

Watch Brands: Seiko

Seiko makes its own movements, its own hairsprings and its own luminous compound, and it does so across a range that runs from a $150 automatic to Grand Seiko. No other brand covers that span in-house.
