sharkdive Heimdallr 42mm Stainless Steel SKX007 Dive Watches for Men, NH36A Movement C3 Luminous Mens Automatic Watches, 200 Meter Water Resistant

Product Information

The final watch that I'd like to highlight is again based on a discontinued model. Seiko's SKX007 was a very popular dive watch that has been dropped by the manufacturer in favour of its Seiko 5 Sports line. Aside from the bold colouring, this is a fairly conservative watch. The Submariner style is nearly 70 years old and has been tried and tested. It's the watch James Bond wore. Seiko is a bit odd in their pricing and in what one gets -- uninspired bracelets with stamped clasp, DiaShield coating at some price points but not in other models that cost more, when one gets Hardlex or Sapphire, etc., so, for years, it was a difficult brand for me to appreciate, until finally finding one model I just loved and I became interested in the brand itself. He keeps an eye out for invaders, using his keen eyesight and hearing. He has gold teeth and is described as the whitest of all the Norse Gods. I've included some less obvious designs and not included some of their more colourful models. The brand also uses bronze regularly. But again, I've tried to concentrate on the watches that best represent the brand and are true to the original watch.

Either way, they're an interesting company that produces some exciting homage models. They're particularly strong when it comes to recreating classic dive watches. So don't let the brand name confuse you. Let's jump in and learn more about them. Then we'll look at the best watches that they currently offer. Finally, the watch came with a very good quality NATO strap, a bracelet adjustment tool and strap pin removal tool. All of this came in a very nice presentation box. And Heimdallr uses reliable Japanese automatic movements in their watches. When you get a Heimdallr watch that mimics a Seiko watch, it is usually powered by a branded Seiko movement.It’s a Chinese watch, inspired by a historical Japanese piece and definitely the first place to start with this brand. Assuming you're ok with wearing a homage watch, then the question becomes more about which brands to choose. Let's skip the ethical minefield of buying homage watches. I've covered that when writing about Pagani Design, Corgeut and others.

There is no reason why they shouldn't be of good quality. China is one of the watchmaking giants. A lot of watches that you see in the West are made in Chinese factories. Heimdallr has produced its own version. It’s slightly larger than the original but otherwise is faithful to the skin diver styling of the Seiko. All owners of Heimdallr watches can enjoy a 2-year official warranty in our store, as long as you have a warranty card and no matter where your buy. The 62MAS was Seiko’s first dive watch. Released in 1965, the watch now has a cult status. Seiko has recreated the watch themselves, but it’s not a very affordable watch. And that's what I like about this brand. They're accessible and watch focused. It feels like they're reissuing iconic watches, rather than providing fashion pieces on a budget.

Who are Heimdallr and Sharkey Watches?

As you've seen in this piece, they're more likely to recreate a vintage Japanese dive watch than a contemporary Swiss design. Personally, having bought a couple of Seiko 5's, I was surprised that much lower cost brands with the same movement are on par and superior in many ways. Then again, even if inferior in specs, a Seiko is a Seiko, haha, so that's a win for Seiko fans. Oddly, that argument falls apart at the high end, in some debates, where, no matter how grand a Grand Seiko is, it's still "just a Seiko" to some people, much like a Nissan with supercar skills is "just a Nissan" to some people, no matter how great the performance. In terms of specifications, it's as you'd expect at this price point. It has the ubiquitous Seiko NH35A movement, a sapphire crystal and 200M of water resistance.
