Seiko 5 of the mechanical and automatic SNK80xK2 series at very low price (Seller TforTime).

Seiko Model 5 you will never find in stores (Jewellers, etc ...) in Europe as Seiko reserve the marketing of this inexpensive model to the Asia / Pacific area but you can find on the internet especially through Amazon. This watch type "military" weighs 60 grams, has a housing 36 mm diameter and 10 mm thick, which is rare these days and can make a unisex type of sports watch. It is powered by a caliber of the house Seiko, the 7S26, 21 jewels manufactured in Malaysia. This caliber is very accurate, reliable, shockproof and automatic with a power reserve of approximately 40 hours once the mechanism fully wound (worn on the wrist for 8 hours). The glass is of type Hardlex so quite resistant to breakage but not scratch. The watch is water resistant to 3 ATM, resistant to dust and splashing water but do not expect to swim with this watch. The bottom of the housing and not screwed clipped is transparent and allows to see the caliber work. The face of the watch is very easy night though with a somewhat strange position regarding the bright point of the second hand. For women, attention to the end of the cloth bracelet that can quickly spinning tights or low if the two come into contact. For a small fee, I paid mine costs 54 euros including shipping, you will have the pleasure of owning a true mechanical and automatic watch brand known and deemed not integrating that house components and ensuring the 5 functions, time, minutes, seconds, day of week (English or Spanish) and the month. It's a bit of French Kelton modern times and more robust (former should remember the slogan of the 70s of the French brand: "You change, change Kelton!") Of course, you will not have the precision of a quartz with mechanical but this type of show is back in fashion as for vinyl records and then a mechanical, is still nobler than quartz. Familiar Seiko, you can keep this watch if you take care of at least 10 to 20 years. The only criticism I have this watch is the small crown at 4 o'clock that requires having nails to be usable. Received in due time in her pretty blue Seiko box with inner cushion in white imitation leather, Seiko instructions in English and Spanish and Seiko unfilled warranty card. Renowned watch brand that I recommend very strongly and that will not ruin your budget.
