Also, a dark brown leather band perfectly matches with the watch’s stainless steel case. 

Seiko Analog SKA773 has a 42mm case size and 11mm thickness. The watch also features a crown with the push/pull mechanism, Roman numerals marked at 6 and 12 o’clock, and a date display at the 3 o’clock position.

With 39mm case thickness, such a timepiece goes perfectly with men with smaller or slimmer wrists. 

The watch has beautiful green lines on the band as well as on the case, while the hour mark and minute mark are in the same tone colour. Beautifully coloured hands go so well because of the grey dial. This breaks out the silver watch’s monotony while adding a dash of elegance and sophistication.

Why do we like it? – Exudes power with appealing Roman numerals and a sapphire dial window. 

Seiko SNP141P1 is a mighty watch that features scratch-resistant sapphire on the dial window, which may influence the price of the watch. However, it is still totally worth it and justified taking into account its features.

The timepiece is 13mm thick with 42.9mm case diameter. When it comes to its band, it is made of stainless steel with 20mm thickness and deployment clasp. Even though the silver colour is the one that prevails, the dial is in black, which creates an excellent contrast with the silver-toned hands and numerals. 

Besides these basic features, Seiko Kinetic SNP141P1 has a perpetual calendar, a date display at 12 o’clock, a month Indicator, and a leap year indicator. Apart from these great characteristics, this timepiece is water resistant up to 100 meters or 330 feet.

Conclusion

If you are not informed, Kinetic watches are powered by movement. When you swing or move your arm, an oscillating weight inside the watch moves. As a result, a number of gears turn, generating electricity in a small generator that charges the capacitor. Simply put – Your watch will never run out of battery!

And Seiko, as the first creator of this kind of movement, today has to offer a wide variety of Kinetic watches with their own distinctive features. For that reason, we crafted 7 best Seiko Kinetic watches according to our taste. However, we also took into consideration the quality, the price range, and of course, the overall style. Therefore, we are absolutely sure that you can find at least one that will suit your needs, because that’s what Seiko does!
