Seiko 5 Men's Automatic Watch SNKL45J1 Black

Classic Black Seiko 5: 7S26 21 Jewels, 37mm, Exhibition Caseback

Collection

The Seiko SNKL45J1 belongs to the Seiko 5 range, one of the most iconic lines in Japanese watchmaking. Launched in 1963, this collection embodies accessible automatics: a 37mm case, 21-jewel 7S26 caliber, and 30m water resistance. Note: the 7S26 does not feature hacking or manual winding — an intentional characteristic of this entry-level caliber.

Case

The case of the Seiko SNKL45J1 is made of stainless steel, with a diameter of 37 mm and a thickness of 11 mm. The bezel is fixed. The black dial is protected by a Hardlex crystal, a proprietary Seiko treatment for light scratches. The case back is an exhibition (transparent) type, allowing observation of the movement in operation. The water resistance is 30 m, suitable for splashes and rain.

Movement

The Seiko SNKL45J1 is powered by the automatic caliber 7S26, offering a power reserve of approximately 41 hours. This movement does not feature hacking (stopping the second hand for time setting) or manual winding — two intentionally absent functions on this entry-level caliber. Its accuracy hovers around ±15 seconds per day, which is expected for an automatic movement in this segment.

Strap

The Seiko SNKL45J1 is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet, both robust and easy to maintain, fastened by a deployant clasp, which makes putting on and taking off the watch easier while securing the bracelet to the wrist. The lug width is 18 mm.

Supplied with: Storage box, presentation pad, user manual.
