Représentant la quintessence de la collection seiko mod, elle incarne une sophistication intemporelle qui transcende les modes passagères. Jubilee bracelet:The ‘beads of rice’ bracelet remains true to the SKX heritage with a ‘five-piece link’ design that forms a series of small X-shaped patterns.

The detail work is exceptional, reaching a point where we are almost spoilt by the obsessive craftsmanship. The scene is set by delicately polished strong indices, crisp white print, and a perfectly framed date window. And a semi-circled 72-hour power reserve with a sharp polished pointer that elevates everything to another level. What we can all agree on is that the SNR049J1, with two 24-hour scales, one running around the perimeter of the dial and the second on the rotating bezel, make it a more than proficient GMT watch capable of displaying the time in three different time zones and withstanding the rigours of international travel. Watch sizing can only be generally carried out on watches with metal bracelets, steel, titanium, gold, etc.

Points of Mention

Don’t be surprised if this feels like a 41-42mm watch on the wrist, as the familiar muscular sides curve downwards at the lugs, sharpened by exceptional bevels. The reason the weight drops away is a T for titanium: light, strong and seldom finished to this degree outside Japan.

Rolex almost immediately followed the announcement of the 116710BLNR's retirement with the release of its successor, the GMT-Master II ref. 126710BLNR. This Batman model is nearly identical to its predecessor except for two key details. First, the newer model uses a modified caliber with a 70-hour power reserve. Second, instead of the Oyster bracelet, the standard configuration of this reference now features the five-piece link Jubilee bracelet. Nevertheless, Rolex takes the popularity of the Oyster bracelet into consideration, and it is also available on request. The LX is loosely based on Seiko’s Professional Diver from 1968, but was designed by Ken Okuyama, someone better known for designing hypercars, and the collection’s most frequently used complication is the GMT, a function associated with air travel. In actual fact, the collection’s most commonly used complication is the power reserve, but that’s a given considering the exclusive use of the Spring Drive movement.

This timepiece is presented on a solid stainless steel jubilee bracelet that showcases both brushed and polished finishes. It fastens through the use of a fold over push deployment clasp. It also features a diver’s extension. Inside the Rolex Batman, you'll find either the in-house caliber 3186 or the more recent 3285. Like every Rolex caliber, both come with a certificate from the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). According to the international norm, a mechanical chronometer may only deviate between -4 and +6 seconds a day. Rolex then retests each movement after its initial certification based on a stricter set of rules. Only watches with a maximum daily deviation of +/-2 seconds pass the test and earn the title "Superlative Chronometer." We understand the importance of sizing the length of your watch bracelet or strap to provide the perfect fit. Our simple to use watch sizing guide allows you to measure the size of your wrist from the comfort of your own home. It isn’t a secret that the success of Grand Seiko is prompting Seiko proper to introduce “look-alike” models at lower price points that have a lot of the same flavor. Part of this has been to bring over to Seiko the concept of having richly textured, often brightly colored dials. The Presage Sharp-Edge GMT watches feature Asanoha-pattern dials in an interesting three-dimensional fashion. Asanoha or “hemp leaves” patterns are usually printed in 2D on fabrics and other materials, so it is interesting to see it stamped on the dials and set with highly legible applied hour markers and hands.

The bi-colour 24-hour bezel is coated in Hardlex, to ensure durability while the GMT hand improves practicality, visibility and legibility. The ‘beads of rice’ jubilee bracelet remains true to the SKX heritage with a ‘five-piece link’ design that forms a series of small X-shaped patterns. The mechanism used is an in-house-built 4R34 automatic movement and manual winding. This calibre movement has 24 Jewels and a 41-hour power reserve. I have my doubts about the accuracy of the blood pressure monitor as I believe my pressure is higher than indicated when tested by the doctor. Although maybe I’m more relaxed at home. Don’t know also if the watch is waterproof which would be better.If you require an extra large bracelet or you are in need of additional links these may be supplied at an additional cost. Seiko Watch 5 Sports GMT SKX Blueberry Re-Interpretation SSK003K1. Seiko Watch 5 Sports GMT SKX Re-Interpretation SSK003K1. Seiko 5 Sports ‘Blueberry’ GMT SKX Re-interpretation. Bracelet could be better but it’s a lot of watch for the price point. Offered a great deal. Process was simple and straightforward and watch was delivered on time. Price for delivery was rather high for a Saturday. Looks can be deceiving, and the Seiko Prospex SNR049J proves the point in idiosyncratic style, once again firmly setting the bar for how we perceive a tool watch. This is a deliciously blue faced, limited reference in the LX series, Seiko’s pinnacle of sports and diver’s watches. In 2020 this is a brash and unapologetically large watch, but even at 44.8mm, Seiko are the masters of watch ergonomics, and close to unbeatable for chunky tool watch comfort. The GMT movement is based on Seiko’s Caliber 4R architecture, dubbed the 4R34, and should be as durable as any, given the company’s reputation for some of the most robust mass-market movements available. It has 24 jewells, a beat rate of 21,600 vph, and a 41-hour power reserve. Finishing is bare-bones, with a logo on the rotor, and…that’s about it. To be expected at this price point, but it’s nice for those new to the hobby just to be able to see the movement in action. As far as travel functionality, the 4R34 isn’t a true GMT, but what’s known as a caller movement, which adjusts the 24 hour hand by pulling the crown out to the first position. Again, at this price, it works just fine. The bracelet
