The SNK300 line of Seiko 5 watches has one of the most impressive dials for the money. While you can’t tell from the images, the dial has an array of microscopic ‘5’ shields on the dial, which give the dial a unique texture and character. You can see it up close in our video review of this watch.
As a whole, it’s not the best-specced watch for the money, however, it is one of the best looking, with undeniable similarities to the styling of the far more pricey Rolex Oyster Perpetual. The contoured steel case looks and fits much better than that on the competing SNXS series, making this a great everyday option.
The SNK300 is available in three colors, with varying codenames, though all have identical performance and specifications.
