The All-New Seiko 5 Sports SKX GMT Watches
When designing these new watches, Seiko aimed for more practical international timekeeping. Hence the inclusion of the GMT complication. These watches are the first in the Seiko 5 Sports Specialist Style series to include this function. Not only will said GMT function improve practicality, legibility and visibility, but it will also ensure that multiple time zone calculations can be made at a glance; quickly and easily.
Seiko 5 Sports SKX GMT Sky Blue Silver Cloud Silver White Dial / Stainless Steel Bracelet SSK033K1
This SKX GMT takes inspiration from a popular archive colour scheme which captured the scene of the blue sky piercing through the clouds. Creating a striking focal point at the centre of the timepiece, this ‘Sky blue, Silver cloud’ Seiko is designed with a silver-white dial and a bi-colour black and blue bezel. The dial exhibits LumiBrite hands and indices alongside a date aperture at the 3 o’clock position. A stainless steel case houses the 4R34 automatic movement that powers this timepiece. Remaining true to the SKX heritage, a ‘beads of rice’ stainless steel bracelet secures the watch to the wrist. And for added levels of comfort, the screw-down crown features at the 4 o’clock position.
Seiko 5 Sports SKX GMT Bi-Colour Green Green Dial / Stainless Steel Bracelet SSK035K1
This SKX takes inspiration from a popular archive colour scheme in deep green. These new watches all have a water resistance rating of up to 100 metres, making them more than suitable for daily wear. A ‘Bi-colour green’ bezel frames the green dial, and for enhanced durability, the bezel features a Hardlex coating. In addition to this, a robust stainless steel case frames the dial; it perfectly matches the stainless steel bracelet that secures the watch on the wrist. Powered by an automatic movement, this watch has a power reserve of up to 41 hours. Durable, reliable and ready for everyday wear, this Seiko greatly lives up to Seiko 5 Sports’ reputation.
Seiko 5 Sports SKX GMT Mocha Black Dial / Brown Leather Strap SSK036K1
This piece’s ‘Mocha’ colour scheme features a black dial and black-brown combo bezel. The bezel has a gold colour plating, which matches the gold colour accents throughout the hands and indices; it oozes retro flair. A 4R34 automatic movement provides the timepiece with a 41-hour power reserve. Differing from its familiar models, a brown calf leather strap concludes the design of this timepiece. Its contrast stitching not only complements the gold accents on the dial and bezel but also provides elements of sophisticated luxury.
