![]() There is a very comfortable, and well proportioned signed crown at the 3 o’clock position. I like the simple circular case shape, with the slim but sporty lugs. The entire case is high polished stainless steel and the finishing is very good. The case measures 40.5mm in diameter, 47mm from lug-to-lug and 12mm in height. This watch has a list price of $450, but can be found for around $350. So here we are, and while I do have mixed opinions about the brand today, I will attempt to be as objective as possible. I was fortunate enough that the same kind friend that loaned me his Sinn 104 also owned a Seiko Presage Cocktail Time SRPB41J1, and he was willing to loan me this one to check out too. I decided I’d like to avoid their divers because they’re often prone to QC issues like bezel and chapter ring misalignment, so I was on the lookout for one of their Presage pieces instead. So I took my time trying to decide which Seiko watch I would like to feature here first. I was not a fan, and ended up modding it and selling that watch after a couple of weeks. At some point in the last couple of years, I did give Seiko another shot and bought an SKX009. And even 10 years later, that watch has held up nicely. The second nice watch that I ever owned was a Seiko Premier Kinetic Perpetual Calendar, and I wore that watch everyday for about three years. Before we get into this, I should make it known that I do like the brand. ![]() So it shouldn’t have taken me this long to get to reviewing a Seiko watch, as they are arguably one of the most popular watch brands today. ![]() I talk a lot about affordable watches, and good automatic watches that are budget friendly.
