Seiko SX Quartz – Gold Tone

The rectangular gold-tone case gives it a dressy look, but what really caught my eye is the dial. At first glance it looks black. Then the light hits it and the textured pattern comes alive. It's a small detail, but it's the kind of thing Seiko has always done exceptionally well.

Clean, simple, and understated, this is the type of watch that looks just as good today as it did when it was originally sold.

Why We Like It

I think a lot of collectors overlook watches like this.

Everybody wants the diver, the chronograph, or the watch with the famous reference number. Meanwhile, Seiko was quietly making watches like this—well-built, attractive, and affordable.

The rectangular case gives it a little bit of a tank-watch feel without taking itself too seriously. It's easy to wear, easy to read, and works with just about anything.

Fishtown Watch Supply Thoughts

This is the kind of watch I'd grab if I wanted something a little different without spending a fortune. The dial is cool, the size is versatile, and it's from one of the most dependable names in watchmaking. Sometimes that's all you need.
