The SNE585 isn’t breaking any new ground in the design department. The hands will be familiar to anyone who has looked at an SKX and the simple markers keep the dial clean. With the limited dial space in a 38mm watch, this isn’t a dig at Seiko. The SNE585 is easy to read and the blue sunburst is exactly what you want in a summer watch.   

Seiko always knows how to impress in the lume department. LumiBrite is no joke and the application on the SNE585 is heavy. If you find yourself in the dark corridors waiting for a haunted mansion ride and want to know what time it is, the lume will shine brightly enough to tell you, no matter how long you’ve been in line.

The case of the SNE585 is classic Seiko in terms of finishing, design, and execution. The main benefit of the quartz solar movement when it comes to the case is the profile it allows for. The mid-case feels almost as thin as the bezel and with the gentle turndown in the lugs, this watch sings on the wrist. 

There is a downside to this watch and that is the bracelet. The design doesn’t seem to fit the watch and as with most modern Seiko bracelets, the clasp is obnoxious for daily wear. Therefore, especially for summertime activities, I swap the bracelet out for almost any other strap. As I said above, this watch has been living almost exclusively on a Mankey Hook Strap. 

There’s a lot of talk about the brand Grand Seiko. Some people will tell you it’s better than Rolex, others that the quality is unmatched, and others still that the value is astonishing. There’s a lot of reasons given why we should buy a Grand Seiko—here are three things you should know before you do.

It’s A Swiss Replica Rolex

Think of fine watchmaking and think of Switzerland. As well as being famous for its chocolate, cheese and efficient, clean rail network, Switzerland is the global epicentre for the fine, premium watch. All of the big three, hail from Switzerland. The landlocked nation has it in the bag.

Grand Seiko, however, finds its origins a lot further afield, in the far-eastern realm of Japan. This is a country known for precision, certainly, but applied in an economical, reliable, affordable way. If you buy Japanese, you’re buying sensible. Fine, but it’s no Switzerland.

Look at the car industry. You want luxurious, you go British; powerful, German; emotive, Italian. If you want a car you can run without servicing for 300,000 miles that costs less than the extended leather trim option in any of the others, you go Japanese.

This is the way of the world and has been since the dawn of time. Or has it? Go back some three, four hundred years and Swiss watchmaking is nowhere to be seen. Instead, it’s the Germans, the British and the French commanding the forefront of this mechanical technology, Peter Henlein credited with the first pocket watch in the 1500s, Thomas Tompion setting the standard for high-accuracy clockmaking in the 1600s, Jean-Antoine Lépine initiating the pursuit of miniaturisation in the 1700s.

But the industrial revolution and the advancement of technology, coupled with the stubbornness of the clockmakers who refused to embrace new ways of manufacturing, left the industry for the taking. Swiss farmers, holed away for the winter with nothing else to do, turned to making watch parts for a modest income, assembled using modern industrial techniques—and so Swiss watchmaking was born.

Sound familiar? An emerging market using cheaper labour and technological advancement to produce an affordable product to dominate a market? The same thing happened to the Swiss in the 1970s with Japanese quartz watches. What goes around comes around I suppose.
