Seiko Automatic Watch SZSB012

Product Information

Seiko added their own flairwith a sunburst-style dial in a subtle, unique coloring. And the best part about this dial is that it doesn’t take away from the aspect of a dress watch… it adds to it.

Somehow, Seiko has managed to take a color that most people think is too bright for watches and turn it into the standout feature of a beloved timepiece. The Seiko SZSB012 is part of the Spirit line, a silent collaboration with TiCTAC, one of Japan's most prestigious watch stores, to celebrate their 35th anniversary. You’re getting the same updates as the rest of the Seiko 5 line: 4R36 movement, 41-hour power reserve, 100m water resistance. Additionally, this has a day/date display.

The lug-to-lug measurement is longer, however, at 48.1mm. The 42.5mm Seiko 5s’ lug-to-lug measures at 46mm. Seiko 5 Field Sports SRPG27 Features:But! I have a small wrist myself (6.25″) and I personally don’t think the 42.5mm size looks too big on the wrist. That’s because the lug-to-lug measurement is only 46mm, so it’s not swallowing up my entire arm (visually). There’s no doubt that Seiko makes some of the best dress watches. They meet the standards of any extraordinary dress watch: clean, highly functional, and dazzling to their own degree.
