The Seiko SKX007 Automatic Diver Watch is one of the world’s most popular dive watches. This custom SKX Seiko scuba diver upgrade is the classic SKX007 modded with a Strapcode Super Oyster Bracelet as a custom upgrade to the OEM Seiko bracelet. It also has been upgraded with a double-domed scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Sapphire not only resists scratches, but it also provides a sharper view of the dial and hands. And, it helps keeps the watch looking new over time. There is a bluish hue when viewing the domed crystal at some angles due to the anti-reflective coating used. Also, because the crystal has a domed top and a domed bottom, it does not have a magnification effect.

The custom SEIKO SKX007 diver watch mod features Seiko's well proven 7S26 automatic (self-winding) movement with a day and date display. The SKX007 has highly luminous Lumibrite treated hands and markers, a large screw down offset crown, uni-directional bezel, and a solid etched, screw-down case back.

The SKX007DD features a Strapcode Super Oyster bracelet with several advantages over the stock OEM bracelet on the SKX007. It is all solid links including the end links at the lugs. The links are screwed-in instead of push pins and they are slightly thicker at 3.4mm. The deployant clasp is machined milled from solid 316L stainless steel vs. the Seiko OEM bracelet which is simply stamped steel. The Strapcode deployant clasp also has six fine adjustments (one more than the Seiko OEM bracelet). The Strapcode Super Oyster tapers from 22mm at the lugs to 18mm at the clasp. Overall length is 190mm. Net weight is 93 grams. The bracelet is secured to the SKX007 using a pair of FAT spring bars to eliminate rattle while wearing.

The Sapphire Crystal used in place of the Seiko OEM Hardlex is 4.6mm thick and was professionally installed. The crystal is double-domed and it has an anti-reflective coating on the bottom. Also included with your purchase is a pair of Island Watch soft white gloves suitable for safe watch handling and polishing (These are the same gloves Marc wears in the Island Watch YouTube videos).
