Just One More Watch

OK, so I roasted it so hard that I felt bad and bought it off David! I might do an 'Ugly Watch Collection Giveaway' or something at some point. This is '70s. This is awful. They should have left it well alone, preferably buried underground. Cheers, Jody

Naturally, the watch was defined by the “SK” emblem on the dial, which, contrary to popular belief stood for “Super King” and not “Sea King”. We’re proud to say that this reissue of the SK Diver is exactly that: a reissue. While this model was first released in the early 1970s, it was actually reissued for the European market about ten years ago. This re-release marks the first time it is available worldwide. The watch has been reproduced to be as close to the original as possible, including the case, the tapered bracelet, and even the studded hour markers. It measures at the same 41.7mm across, which in the ’70s was a bit large. The dial displays the original text, except that it reads “22 Jewels” instead of “21 Jewels”. That’s because the movement has been upgraded to our caliber F6922 with is automatic, hand-winding, and hacking.

Can't speak to it's overall quality, don't have one, but I liked it when first seeing it. Bracelet is obvious garbage though.
