It fastens with a fold over style clasp that includes a safety catch. The strap can be replaced if you decide that’s something you would like to do.

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.It would appear that the watch has worked its way off the display cushion while in transit so I am very sorry for this. If the watch has been damaged by this we can arrange for it to be returned for a replacement. I can see from our system that this Seiko was delivered in to us from Seiko UK on Dec 2nd and is a brand new item. Please note that Seiko don't use as many covers as other watch manufacturers as they send them to us in bulk using polythene bags and the presentation boxes are sent separately. We then take the watch out of the polythene bag and put it on the display cushion in the official box before sending. I’d like to meet the person who chose the design and materials for the Diver’s strap – and beat him with it until he confesses his allegiance to the JLSW (Japanese League of Sadistic Watchmakers). While the case is crafted entirely of stainless steel, Seiko plays with different finishes on the metal to make the look of the watch a bit more intriguing. Indeed, the top of the case is brushed while the case flanks and crown guard have been polished to a mirror finish. Unlike many automatic watches, this model comes with a Seconds-Stop function which allows the wearer to completely halt the movement within the watch.

Powering this Seiko SKX011 is a self-winding (automatic) Seiko 7S26 movement. The 7S26 caliber was introduced in 1996 with the SKX line of watches and possesses a 40-hour power reserve with an accuracy of +49/-20 seconds per day. Never mind. The Seiko Diver is a “fun” mechanical watch that’s not afraid of a bit of rough and tumble, priced to go. It’s kinda like a creamsicle that tells the time and doesn’t melt.
