As useful as they are, sometimes a rugged tool watch isn't the most appropriate timepiece for the task. A more subtle, formal watch would fit better for social situations requiring a sleeker profile from both watch and wearer. And though Seiko are best known for their incredibly bold and robust dive watches, they also have svelte, formal watches up their sleeve. The SNK793 marriages the Seiko 5 functionality and classic silver watch design into a compact 37mm formal performer. Carrying the 5 key attributes of the line--automatic winding, a day/date window, water resistance, a recessed crown at the 4 o'clock position, and a durable case and bracelet--the SNK793 performs as well as it looks. And look good it does, making use of the classic blue dial to offset the silver case and bracelet. Under the hardlex glass beats a 21-jewel 7S26C movement, with a power reserve of up to 41 hours, with the SNK793 rated up to 30 meters of water resistance. For a workhorse formal watch that won't break the bank, check out Seiko's affordable automatic at the link below.
