Finally found a watch, not many in the wild today. The cellphone has replaced a many trusty timepieces.
Seiko chronograph dial with LumiBrite, an improved fluorescent luminous paint that absorbs a greater amount of the light energy exposed to it and glows brighter and much longer in the dark.

I've had this watch for 15 years now and pretty much wear it every day and never has broken once, just battery replacements are needed and not a scratch on the face either.

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!

Seiko was the first brand in the world to introduce a commercially available quartz watch in 1969: the Seiko Astron 35SQ. This was revolutionary because it was much more accurate than mechanical watches and more affordable to produce on a large scale. This led to the so-called “Quartz Crisis” in the 1970s and 1980s, during which many traditional Swiss watchmakers were hit hard as quartz watches began to dominate the market.
