Seiko Fabric Strap Watches

Bas van Dorp emailed me a picture of his Seiko Monster. He wore it during his snowboard trip. As you can see, this Seiko Monster is like the Speedmaster Professional with NASA astronauts, worn on top of the (ski) jacket! The large orange dial makes it very easy to read while being in full action!Seiko model: SKX781 K3, a.k.a. Seiko Monster, caliber 7S26 (automatic movement with day-date feature). Water resistant to 200 meters (660 ft). Stainless steel case with a diameter of 41mm (height: 12mm). Just google on ‘Seiko Monster’ and you will find plenty of online dealers who sell this watch for a very reasonable price. The ski jacket is a Lowe Alpine and the gloves are by Ziener.

The Seiko Arctura, specifically the stainless-steel Kinetic Perpetual Watch with a stationary bezel and depth rating of 330 feet, features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a fold-over bracelet closure and whopping 47 mm case that out-sizes the big-name Swiss watches. It may look like a chronograph to the casual observer, but the sub-dials provide room for a leap year hand, a month hand and a small 24-hour clock hand that’s perfect for traveling. The actual date appears in a window just below the 12-hour marker. 84 Uniqueness The Seiko Arctura Kinetic Perpetual Watch is not what you might expect, but it is years ahead of all those high-end brands that tout their automatic movements with 44-hour power reserves as environmentally friendly. This Seiko runs on the kinetic energy that your body produces as you move. Seiko was the first to translate body motion of the wearer into electric energy to power a watch, and has been doing so since 1986. Since then, Seiko has been slowly perfecting this movement technology while giving other watchmakers a lesson in modernity with style and function.

Additionally, this model features the Seiko-designed Time Relay system that helps the watch keep perfect time for nearly four years if you are not wearing it; there is no need to think you’ll never be able to take it off without having to reset it. In all, this Seiko is nothing like the small digital models Roger Moore once wore as James Bond in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This is a clear competitor to watches priced two to three times more that have fewer modern features. And the stainless-steel construction with a sublime white dial allows you to wear it anywhere you want to go.
