The Story

The Seiko SKX Diver series is an all time classic - tough as nails with a great look to boot.  It's no wonder they are so popular among enthusiasts.  But, an oft-repeated complaint about the series is the quality of the OEM bracelet, which, in our opinion, doesn't achieve the same solidity and build quality as the watch itself.
 

The present jubilee-style bracelet (we're calling the Model J) bracelet addresses those concerns. Providing an overall more elevated look, the Model J bracelet has beautiful alternating polished/brushed finish, tapers to 16mm at the clasp, and is capable of more than enough adjustment. Fitted to Forstner's milled clasp, the bracelet looks and wears like a dream.
