R.I.P. Seiko SKX007

more_vert
Further reflections on the demise of a watch most of us own, or at least used to own at one time or another--the SKX is rumored to be heading for the Last Round Up (again).

Intermingled among their very good overview of the new Seiko 5 line up, the guys at Fratello Magazine (Michael Stockton to be more precise) are predicting the new Fives spell curtains for the very old, SKX line. It's good read if you haven't yet had a chance to check out the new watches (or you can just look at the pictures, we don't judge).

NortonVirusWhat a shocking thing to say--it's not their fault the can't hack or wind! At least they have a DAY complication--it's not every Seiko dive watch that can say that ;- )

Definitely a sad day when (if) it does go. But it will make our SKXs that much more special. Seiko out here forcing us to appreciate the things we own!

You can put/have a hacking & handwinding movement in a SKX. Just get the Heimdallr :-) Btw: rumours of the SKX line being discontinued have been around a few years, but never ever confirmed. Anyway, TGV also commented on the new line-up... https://youtu.be/j5hxeSfu720

Well I am a Heimdallr fan, but their version of the SKX is too far off the mark for me; that dial just doesn't get it! One of these days I'll work up the nerve to mod my SKX the way I think it ought to look and work, and that will certainly involve a new movement; just no sure whose! As for the the end of the SKX, recall that Samuel Clemens' famous line: “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated” was only true to a point--then it wasn't ;- )
