New Seiko Kinetic Dive Watches

For many years now Seiko dive watches have been very popular among watch enthusiasts for their great designs and dependability, not to mention being very affordable to the average guy on a budget. Model's such as the 'Orange Monster' have frequently been one of the first pieces in many collections.

Recently, Seiko released a couple of exciting new models that introduce Seiko's kinetic technology to their dive series:



This model, which is available with a yellow dial, model SKA367, or with a black dial, model SKA371 includes standard dive features such as:

• Corrosion resistant surgical grade stainless steel.
• Screw-down crown and screw-in caseback.
• Water resistance to 200 meters.
• Unidirectional elapsed time bezel.
• Large, highly visible hands and markers treated with superluminova.
• A diver's extension on the clasp so the bracelet can be extended to fit over a wetsuit or other garments.

In addition, the quartz movement is powered by Seiko kinetic technology. Seiko kinetic watches employ a weighted rotor inside the watch which spins around with the movement of your wrist. As it spins, it generates an electrical charge which powers the watch. Once charged, the watch will hold a charge for several months. A power reserve indicator, activated by pressing the button at the 2 o'clock position tells you how much charge the watch has left. Needless to say, you never need to change the battery in a Seiko kinetic.
