Trending: Seiko Solar SNE095P2

There’s a reason why timepieces inspired by the standard military-issue field watch are popular for EDC: they provide an easy-to-read dial and a neutral aesthetic that’s easy to pair with the rest of your kit. Field watches are also known to be simple yet robust, providing you with the time regardless of conditions. Add a solar-powered battery that lets you worry less about replacing batteries every other year or so, and you have a watch that’s ready for the long run. The Seiko Solar SNE095P2 is a solid choice for an EDC watch, combining a legible black dial under a Hardlex crystal with an in-house quartz movement powered by a solar-recharged battery. The dial borrows from the 24-hour field watch style layout, with a day-date window, plus luminous pips, numerals, and hands for all-conditions visibility. Sized in the familiar pairing of a 40mm wide stainless steel case that takes 20mm straps, this watch also is just 10mm thick, making it easy to tuck under cuffs for work days. If you’re looking for a rugged and worry-free everyday timepiece, the Seiko Solar SNE095P2 should fit the bill. Grab one at the link below.
