Seiko Men's Recraft Series Automatic Leather Casual Watch (Model: SNKP27), Emerald, Automatic Watch

Product Information

Imagine a watch that your grandfather, great-grandfather or even great-great-grandfather might have worn during the last century. But most are probably looking for that affordable standout piece in their collection, unlike anything else that they have. It’s probably not going to be someone’s one and only watch, or their first mechanical watch—unless they really want something that is out of the ordinary, that looks very different from what nearly everyone else is wearing.

Be it a re-creation of Seiko's debut dive watch or a modern interpretation of their 'mountain man' piece. The original brown leather strap is provided with the watch, it is currently paired on a gold plated mesh bracelet. The Seiko Recraft series offers a unique, even quirky look that sets them apart from most watches available today. A white dot at each hour brings the time track into that inner circle, and the white day-date window, trimmed in gold-toned metal, fills the three o’clock position.

It's more affordable than some of the others on my list and features an in-house Calibre 4R35 automatic movement. Seiko watches have been worn on the wrists of celebrities and were favoured by soldiers around the world. Using the 7s26 has allowed Seiko to keep the Recraft series watches quite affordable—some of the most affordable automatic watches in the brand’s current lineup. And while the case sides on the left and right are closer to vertical, the top and bottom ends slope outward, away from the bezel and toward the lugs.The hands are similar to the Alpinist, but the overall appearance is closer to Blancpain's 1950s diver. But after handling the watch and having it in my possession for several weeks, the idea of the emerald green dialed, vintage-inspired Recraft has grown on me.
