S eiko Brand New Diver SKX007 Dagaz Military Field homage

This watch started life as a brand new and unworn Seiko SKX007 diver watch. It’s then been modified to be for this unique and different look. I think it’s an interesting combo and a complete transformation from the original new SKX look.

It has a brand new after-market dial, full white arrow handset with lume and a new Dagaz vintage bezel insert. 

The watch has never been worn – it still has the protective plastic on the case back. It is on a brand new original Seiko Z22 Rubber Strap / Band.

For anyone not familiar with the SKX007, it is a rock-solid diver produced by Seiko with a 7S26 automatic movement (no manual winding required / no hacking) with the crown at 4pm. For anyone that has not worn one of these before, it's amazing how comfortable the watch is when the crown is not at 3pm - it just doesn't stick into your hand when you bend your wrist like other 3 o'clock crowns do. If you want to know more about the base watch or the movement - check it out on the web.

The specifications of the original base watch are:

·       Seiko Diver 200m Auto

·       Stainless steel case

·       Day and Date function (the day function is covered by the new dial on this watch – but still there)

·       Water resistant 200meters (20bars)

·       One-way direction bezel

·       7s26 movement

·       4pm crown screw down crown

·       Crown protection shoulders in case

·       Case width: 43mm

·       Case thickness: 13mm

Now to the modification! Here is a list of the modified parts:

·       Brand new Dagaz Military Field watch homage dial with 24 hour Arabic numerals

·       New Dagaz white arrow handset and separate arrow second hand (i.e. not part of the original handset)

·       Matt black painted chapter ring

·       New Dagaz vintage bezel insert

Dial

This dial is a real beauty. It has large Arabic numerals for the first 12 hours of the day and smaller Arabic numbers for the second 12 hours of the day. this military style dial was classic in enabling time to be read in 24 hour format in the defence forces. It does not have a day or date window but those two dials are still intact and in place under the dial.

It has a semi-matt finish so there is little to no reflection off the dial. It only has a date window but the day function is still in place under the dial.

Chapter Ring

The original chapter ring was painted on this watch as when I was first deciding on ow to put this mod together the chapter ring with the black ticks just made the dial too busy in my humble opinion.

Dagaz White Arrow Handset

The hour and minute hands are a Dagaz white arrows handset with lume. The white handset and style of hands perfectly matches the indices on the dial and maximizes legibility. The seconds hand is also Dagaz but was a separate purchase to match this handset and what I thought best suited the overall look of the watch.

Dagaz Vintage Bezel Insert

This classic dial and look in a watch requires a classic bezel insert – and this elegant vintage insert just fits the bill. I think it nicely finishes the watch without making it too busy and giving it more of an “elegant” look.

Lume

General Comments

The watch and original Seiko rubber strap are brand new and unworn. The watch is supplied in a brand new display case as pictured. A Seiko instruction booklet is included with the watch.

Please note that the SKX007 is a 200m diver intended for use in water. While I have no reason to doubt that it is still waterproof I have not had it pressure tested to confirm it is still fully waterproof so you will need to do that it you choose to take it under water. Please also check out the Seiko classifications for water resistance here .

Just a word on the homage thing....this is a Seiko watch that has been modified to have a cosmetic look close to something I really like. It is not pretending to be anything other than that.

If this little beauty sells, it will be sent registered via Australia post.

Thanks for looking.
