Seiko Spring Drive SNR005, pictures and thoughts:
Hi!
I have wanted one of these since the release in 2005. The magic movement intrigued me and the design I love. I have a thing for "unusual" dials with just more than index and hands.
I haven't been able to afford one until now however.
It comes in a pretty nice cushioned box:
It is a comfortable 42mm.
The case design is great. It is made in three "pieces" like a hamburger...
Brushed in the middle and polished over and under:
Please notice how the links are sunk in to each other creating no room for hair to get caught creating a very sturdy link, with both polished and brushed parts.
The crown is marked with a drilled circle to represent the continuous flow of time. As is the movement decorated in circles. Not to elaborate decoration though.
The dial and hands are lovely! It is not really black but rather a very very dark brown. In special light angles the dial shimmers and you can see a hairlike pattern. The PR subdial has a nice sunburst pattern.
Regular light:
Harsh sunlight can create this effect, not often though.
The bracelet is great, but I found it took attention away from the BEAUTIFUL case so I decided to put it on a black alligator strap to dress it up. The bread of the "burger" stands out a bit creating a look of a very tight nice fit between strap and watch case:
I think it looks better like this.
I really like this watch and have dreamed about it for a long time. The Spring Drive movement I will not try to explain because I don't fully understand the design. But is exact. +1 second in one month. And completely silent.
I hope you liked these pictures and the watch. I do.
Cheers

Yeah! A big thanks, this is a great review with nite ppics! You're right: the dial is really a beautifull piece. A very, very beautifull watch. A high degree of finition in an original case. It'a a sort of flighship for the seiko's hifh-end products, imo. Very elegant, e true dress watch with original look and summum of technology!

Very nice watch, thanks a lot.
I agree with you : it looks better on the alligator.
