Seiko SKX013
Timeless Elegance.
Introduced back in 1996, the Seiko SKX013 is a compact yet robust dive watch. Measuring a modest 38mm in diameter, this model is a smaller sibling to the iconic SKX007, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more understated wrist presence without compromising on functionality.
The SKX013 features a unidirectional rotating bezel, a hallmark of professional dive watches, and a screw-down crown, ensuring water resistance up to 200 meters (ISO certified). Its automatic movement is the workhorse 7S26 caliber.
The watch’s luminous markers and hands offer excellent legibility in low-light conditions, a critical feature for divers.
Its classic black dial, paired with a rugged stainless steel case, lends it a timeless appeal suitable for both casual and formal settings. The day-date display at the 3 o’clock position adds practicality to its design.
Sadly, Seiko has now discontinued the watch, however, that should cement its cult status. For me, my SKX013 is a dependable friend that takes hard knocks in its stride and always looks the business!
