Forstner Model O for Seiko SKX Diver and Seiko 5 Sport
Forstner Model O for Seiko SKX Diver and Seiko 5 Sport
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.
Forstner's Model O is a traditional oyster-style bracelet that works wonders with the Seiko SKX (and Seiko 5 Sport series with 22mm lugs). With its fully brushed finish, taper to 16mm, spring link behind the clasp, and Forstner's push-button milled clasp, the bracelet provides a refined, yet sporty look and an excellent wearing experience.
