The Seiko SNXS77K1 is a compact Series 5 automatic with a blue dial, day-date window and a stainless steel bracelet. Its 37mm case wears small and light, which suits people who find most modern automatics too big. The 7S26 movement has no hand-winding and no hacking, so it is a step behind the 4R36 in newer Series 5 models. Owners like the legibility and the classic look; the 30m water rating and Hardlex crystal are modest next to rivals with sapphire and 100m.
