With Baselworld 2019 behind us, we have seen Seiko continue to evolve their business strategy. We saw the return of the Sumo Prospex Diver, with a new 6R35 movement and a sapphire crystal (with an increased MSRP of ~$950 USD to match). Also introduced was the Prospex LX line, which included the SNR033: a batman bezel, spring drive GMT. But with an MSRP north of $5,000 USD, the Prospex LX line is now a close rival of the Grand Seiko line.

If all of these releases are anathema to your budget, I invite you to take a few deep breaths and join me in the wonderful universe of the Seiko 5. It is sometimes easy to forget about them with the flashy new releases, but Seiko continues to quietly produce a diverse line of affordable, automatic watches.

Today I would like to share one of those watches with you, the Seiko SNK793.
