Seiko Military, one of the few auto at an affordable price (as the whole range Seiko 5) for the Asian market at the beginning, she now finds it on the net thanks to import.
But in fact, what is it automatic?
And although an automatic is neither more nor less than a mechanical watch, except that there is no crown (unless it is a mechanical / automatic ^^) in fact, shows what goes through the wrist movement. So, no battery, no quartz and unlimited autonomy on paper (yes, because all eventually wear out).
So, after this parenthesis, just has the watch. Already, it does not suit the big wrist, it is not tiny either, but if you have arms like thighs, you will need proof version 100m (41mm dial), if you are in normal, then it is for you.
Be aware that this version of the Military is has 30m waterproof, so no swimming, but it can tolerate deep and accidental immersion, you can shower with it (I do not see the point but good) and of course, it is resistant to cleaning with water to remove traces of make glass are superb.
The dial of the khaki version is halfway between the olive and black glass, color changing and that will I find great about this kind of watch. The dial has two positions, the first for the date and day (in English and Spanish), and the second for now, we feel the quality, as the '' click '' are clear and frank . By cons, allow a minimum nail for use.
The hands make easy reading, especially on the outside of the dial are displayed minute, and within the hour. The lighting is powerful, but not too much, and playing time in the dark is very simple, because in addition to needles, there in front of each figure one point thinking.
By cons, there is a big downside to this watch are bracelet, I find it too soft, it's hard to break the loop and there are little problem finishing the tip which there has sometimes snag on some satin fabric type (this is my star in less). BUT, for 10-15 euros, we can replace it by a NATO bracelet, which will delight has had this watch (normal for a military type of watch).
So I'll finish by saying that this model enjoy a very good reputation, there is occasionally a model that stands out and which accumulates more than 10 seconds of delay or advance by day, but the guarantee of Seiko is the year for it. Personally, mine takes 2 seconds ahead on average per day, it is the charm of automatic ^^
A beautiful watch for the life of all days has charm with retro side are small, what more?
