Seiko 5 Men's Automatic Watch SNKN96J1 Gold

The Gold Seiko 5 SNKN96J1: Automatic 7S26, 37mm, 30m Water Resistant

Collection

The Seiko SNKN96J1 belongs to the Seiko 5 series, produced continuously for over six decades. It is one of the few entry-level automatics to rely on an in-house caliber: the 7S26, which is reliable and inexpensive to maintain. It features a 37mm case, 30m water resistance, and an exhibition case back to observe the rotor.

Case

Made of stainless steel, the case of the Seiko SNKN96J1 measures 37mm in diameter and 11mm in thickness. The bezel is fixed. The dial is protected by Hardlex glass, a proprietary Seiko treatment for minor scratches. The case back is an exhibition (transparent) type, allowing observation of the movement in operation. Its water resistance is 30m, suitable for splashes and rain.

Movement

The Seiko SNKN96J1 is powered by the automatic caliber 7S26, offering a power reserve of approximately 41 hours. This movement does not have hacking (stopping the second hand for time setting) or manual winding — two functions intentionally absent on this entry-level caliber. Its accuracy ranges around ±15 seconds per day, which is expected for an automatic movement in this segment.

Bracelet

The stainless steel bracelet of the Seiko SNKN96J1, fastened by a deployant clasp, complements the case coherently. The lug width is 18mm.

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