SEIKO 5 5126-6030 Automatic Watch
Overview
The Seiko 5126-6030 is a 41mm men's automatic watch with a stainless steel case and an analog dial protected by hardlex crystal. It uses a 5126 caliber self-winding mechanical movement that cannot be manually wound or hacked (the second hand does not stop when the crown is pulled out). It ticks 5.5 times per second which gives the second hand a smoother movement than quartz watches which tick once per second. The watch should run for up to 32 hours when fully wound and will self-wind when moved.
The 5126-6030 is currently ranked #890 in popularity out of 2,613 watches in this catalog. No retailer link is on file for .com; current availability is unknown. You can see other models similar to this one on the left side of the page. By clicking the checkbox under a similar model you can compare that model with this one side-by-side. We use nearly 100 different weighted criteria to calculate which models are the most similar to one another.
The case of the 5126-6030 measures approximately 41mm wide (not including the crown) by 13mm thick and is water resistant to 70 meters. This should be sufficient for splashes, rain, baths & showers but is not recommended for swimming or diving. The crown does not screw down which increases the risk that it could be pulled out accidentally while under water. The stainless steel bezel shows minute numbering and can be rotated. The gap between the lugs is 19mm and the bracelet band can be adjusted to fit using a link removal tool or removed using a band removal tool to be replaced with another band.
Transform the look of this watch by adding a 19mm leather band such as a Hadley Roma, Hirsch or Crown & Buckle.

- Second hand
- Minute hand

- Day window to show the day of the week including two language choices for the day (English and either Spanish, Arabic, Kanji, Chinese, French, German, Danish or Roman Numerals).

- Date window to show the day of the month. Note that some watches may be damaged if you attempt to change the date between 8:00 PM and 2:00 AM, in which case you should change the time to be outside that range first then reset the time after adjusting the date. Check your watch manual for details.
