Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with Textile Strap – SNK805K2

Product Information

Timex deserves a lot of credit for making the MK1 Mechanical because it answers a real ask from a lot of watch collectors. If anything, that provided with the previous generation models feels more substantial, though both options do suffice. People with very large wrists will find it too small and might want to look at the SNK’s larger cousin, the Seiko 5 SNZG series or the Citizen Eco-Drive.

In person, the Seiko SRPD19K1 is even more spectacular than anything you've seen online or heard about. Tanaka contributed to redefine the theory of watch design, partly inspired by the skill of gem cutting. While the Snowflake is known for its dial, it also has a high-intensity titanium case worthy of our appreciation.

Tanaka took a comprehensive approach to designing Seiko watches, and the Seiko design studio expanded its scope beyond dials to include the entire watchmaking process. The Seiko SNK807 is the one pictured throughout the whole article, so it should be no surprise that it's my favorite of the bunch.

We met the mechanism in its brother’s review, but in case you forgot, there are 21 jewels and a 41-hour power reserve. He hated the lack of hand winding and I guess his activities weren’t always active enough to keep the watch running. The surface is slightly matte, giving it a lovely texture while also reducing glare and reflections, and helping to boost visibility. The Cocktail Time line of watches have some of the best Seiko OEM dial out there, and offer incredible looks for the money.The dial will catch light in interesting ways, the overall color of the dial will also shift based on the lighting conditions. The SRPG certainly looks more expensive, primarily due to all of the applied bits, but I’m not sure it’s necessarily better looking than its predecessors. Grand Seiko and King Seiko were the first product lines to benefit from this pared-down design methodology.
