Legend 3 1

Here, "the" most famous model of Seiko, the SKX009 diver Auto's (no crystals, no battery, no winding) diver's watch (model called "PEPSI" because of the color of the bezel) tight 200 m here sold with bracelet "jubilee" (the cheapest of the three steel bracelets available for full links better take the "oyster").

However, with this flexible bracelet watch is more comfortable and lighter than other metal bracelets! A rubber strap (convenient for diving) is also available!

This watch is very reliable movement with 21 jewels ZS26; you just have to know that automatic watches take several seconds ahead per day regardless of the brand. Count forty hours of battery life when you are not wearing it.

Special seiko, the crown (screwed for better sealing) is positioned at 4 o'clock for comfort, really enjoyable!
However it is not very obvious to handle to set the day and date, the notches (when pulling on the crown) is not sufficiently marked!

The bezel (not the crown as specified in another review) is biensur rotating unidirectionally (to avoid overestimating the dive time) in the counterclockwise! The red fades with time, this model is also available with black bezel insert, which avoids this problem!

This watch is extremely glow at night thanks to those big bright green dots marking the hours!

This brightness lasts all night! It is a painting developed by Seiko called "lumibrite" non-radioactive (unlike tritium used in watches old)!

So no worries for diving, rotating bezel with luminous marker too!

Buying perfect start in the auto world with that shows the ratio unbeatable price / performance as so often with Seiko!

PS: Note that this product is not available from Seiko dealers in France!
