Seiko Criteria Perpetual Calendar, SLT083P


Age: 2003

Dimensions: 40mm wide, integrated bracelet

Features: Date, Compass rotating inner-bezel, GMT hand, Perpetual calendar, 100m water resistant, Double-clasp locking bracelet, Hardlex crystal, 8F56 Quartz movement

Notes: This watch is a keeper. I bought it several years ago just because; and I rarely keep watches I buy for no special occasion. But this watch is so well-made, and so jammed with features, I can't sell it. The finishes on the bracelet, for example, are a combination of brushed pieces and polished. The chrome hour markers tipped with lume are also numbered from one to 24, so as the GMT hand makes its way around it tells military time. The GMT hand also doubles as a compass with the inner-bezel. The textured dial and domed Hardlex crystal add luxury, and the lume on the sword hands (including an arrow tip on the second hand) are highly readable.
