Seiko - Bought a new Seiko Quartz Chronograph over the weekend

Bought a new Seiko Quartz Chronograph over the weekend

Well after months of not buying a watch I couldn't take it anymore. I usually get a little jealous of the watches I see here due to the high price points. But I've lived with the fact I will never own anything over a $1k which is fine. OK onto the review.

For this review I'll be using a pic I found on line due to the dial being a rich brown color. ( I suck at taking photos) Using a Sony Cyber Shot.

Case is a 42mm brushed and polished stainless case. And is between 10-12mm thick.

Dial is a rich chocolate brown with white hands and hour markers.

Seiko uses its patented lumibrite compound. Those that own Seiko watches know the brightness of it, sadly its not that bright on this model.

I'll admit I'm color blind when it comes to darker colors, to me the band looks gray with white stitching, It maybe brown lol.

Now the movement.

Nothing fancy like their Spring Drive, kinetic or even solar powered pieces.

Uses the Seiko 7T94 Chronograph movement with the following.

60 minute chronograph register at the 12'oclock

Small seconds at the 6'oclock with date (done in the reverse layout) Although it can be hard to see.

And uses a 1/5th of a second chronograph hand similar to an automatic or mechanical.

WR is 100m no big deal.

OK on to a couple of pics

and a wrist shot I took yesterday

I know it can be hard for those like me who are not rich for example, to see all wonderful watches here. But at the end of the day that's all they are watches.

You are probably richer in many other ways

so fret not. And like you said, they are after all only watches. A material item with little material substance in the greater more important scheme of life.

I appreciate the compliment.

Kindly allow me to honor your quartz and passion with my quartz

from my old man who was not a rich man. I think the battery which was left in has corroded and destroyed the movement but for a very old watch, it looks in good condition on the surface. Nice bit of complication as well, a chrono with a dual time, day and...
