Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you’re a pilot or you simply want a high-performance, features-packed timepiece, this flight chronograph watch is sure to please. It has a round black dial, with luminous markers and large luminous hands, set in a coin-edged stainless steel bezel. The watch features a date window at the three o’clock position and three sub-dials. Its stopwatch feature can measure up to sixty minutes in 1/5-second increments. The alarm, a two-hand sub-dial, can be set on a twelve-hour basis, and it doubles as an international travel clock since the alarm hands can be set to indicate the time in a different time zone. This watch also has a bi-directional rotating slide rule bezel for performing many types of calculations. Other features include a scratch-resistant curved Hardlex crystal and a screw-down crown and caseback. The watch is presented on a stainless steel link bracelet that fastens with fold-over push button clasp. Water-tested to 200 meters, the watch is suitable for skin diving. It has a battery life of two to three years.
Customer Reviews
A Modern Mechanical Jewel
I bought this watch for myself for Christmas 3 years ago and still love it.
At the time I really wanted a Breitling Navitimer Fighter but they were selling for around $3,000, and I knew I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking around with thousands of bucks on my wrist.
I happened on this watch on Amazon and was immediately taken with it. Let me say, that the photo does not do this watch justice. When I received the Seiko I was surprised that it had much more sparkle than this photo imparts. And what really impressed me was that the face has great depth to it. The photo on Amazon shows a flat black surface with a mishmash of white lettering all over it, but in reality it looks much more like a mini metal Roman Colliseum with raised sides and a recessed center plain under thick glass. The face is about 3/8″ thick. Very substantial and classy looking. Also, there is more contrast between the shiny center of the wrist band next to the flat silver sides than this photo indicates.
I wore it to work one day, and a female coworker remarked,”your watch is gorgeous!” and that she was looking for one like it for her husband. And when I told her the price she couldn’t believe it.
The Breitling Navitimer is a beautiful watch, but since owning this Seiko Chronograph I rarely ever think about owning a Breitling. And since Navitimers now sell for over $6000 I feel even better about the $475 Seiko I got for $200.
slide rules rule!
I bought this watch for the slide rules function on the bezel. It is very handy for me in my profession to be able to do multiplication, division, ratios and conversions on the watch. The only problem is that the numbers are a little small
Over all very well built and durable watch.
Best Watch I’ve Ever Owned
I collect watches but am very picky because I am relatively short and have a small wrist. Most of my watches are custom fit for my wrist. I was reluctant to buy this watch because chronographs are notoriously bulky and adjusting them can be a pain.
However, as soon as I received this watch I knew it was the best purchase I’d ever made for a timepiece. Everything from the casing to the way the watch was packaged was perfect. The craftsmanship is unmatched, the watch has more tools on it than you’ll ever need, and best of all the diameter was only slightly bigger than some of my other watches (also only slightly taller because of the slide rule). Overall, this is a great deal especially for the price. Similar chronographs cost as much as $3,000.00 USD.
The alarm function is a bit tedious to set up, but I never use a watch as an alarm because I need something more powerful. Small watch alarms simply aren’t practical.
Aesthetically, it is one of the most beautiful timepieces I’ve ever purchased and it is a great addition to my collection of chronographs. I am so happy with this watch that I have to stare at it every 10 minutes because it is such a cool accessory!
