Seiko 5 Men's Automatic Watch SNXC38J5 Gold

The Gold Seiko 5 SNXC38J5: 7S26 Automatic, 37 mm, 30 m Water-Resistant

Collection

The Seiko SNXC38J5 belongs to the Seiko 5 series, which has been produced continuously for over six decades. It is one of the few entry-level automatics to rely on an in-house calibre: the 7S26, which is reliable and inexpensive to maintain. It features a 37 mm case, 30 m water resistance, and an exhibition case back to observe the rotor.

Case

Made of stainless steel, the case of the Seiko SNXC38J5 measures 37 mm in diameter and 11 mm in thickness. The bezel is fixed. The 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. Its water resistance is 30 m, suitable for splashes and rain.

Movement

The Seiko SNXC38J5 is powered by the automatic calibre 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 functions intentionally absent on this entry-level calibre. Its accuracy fluctuates around ±15 seconds per day, which is expected for an automatic movement in this segment.

Bracelet

The stainless steel bracelet of the Seiko SNXC38J5, secured by a folding clasp, complements the case coherently. The lug width is 18 mm.
