Seiko Automatic Dive Watch SNM035

The Seiko Automatic Dive Watch SNM035, sometimes called the "Monster," is a highly refined, heavy duty underwater instrument for serious and recreational diving. Interestingly, most of us who are drawn to this bestselling watch rarely, if ever dive. We like the way it looks and the way it feels on the wrist. We appreciate the classic dive watch design that arises from its function-first orientation, and the high utility of its features, even if we don't use them fully, and we simply enjoy wearing it. Still, if you dive, you can appreciate the Seiko Automatic Dive Watch SNM035 all the more.

The primary dive features include the unidirectional rotating bezel with 60-minute scale and luminous marker at the 12 o'clock position for delivering critical dive timing data, the large luminous hands and hour markers that provide clear legibility in low light and murky conditions, the 200 meter water-resistance rating conferred by the twin screwdown crowns and the screwdown caseback, and the bracelet equipped with a fold-over pushbutton deployment clasp with safety latch and dive extension for fitting properly over a wet suit. Other features of the Seiko Automatic Dive Watch SNM035 may not be quite as obvious to the eye but, nevertheless, are great for a dive watch, or any watch for that matter.

Designed for repeated exposure to salt water and the rigors of underwater expeditions, the case and bracelet are made from 316L surgical grade stainless steel for high durability and corrosion resistance, for optimum longevity. Still, it's what's inside the case that really counts, the hidden mechanism within. When operating in the unforgiving underwater environment timing is critical, and precise, reliable time measurement can mean the difference between life and death. Here, the Seiko Automatic Dive Watch SNM035 really delivers with its caliber 7s35 automatic, self-winding movement, with 21 jewel bearings, and 42 hour power reserve. The automatic movement powers up as you wear it, winding whenever you move, so you never need to worry about it running down, or a battery giving out just when you most need the time, a great feature for a dive watch.
