SEIKO 5 SNX160 Automatic Watch
Overview
The Seiko SNX160 (7S26-0540) is a 37mm men's automatic watch with a stainless steel case and a silver-white analog dial protected by hardlex crystal. It uses a 7S26 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 6 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 43 hours when fully wound and will self-wind when moved.
The SNX160 is currently ranked #1,932 in popularity out of 2,613 watches in this catalog. No retailer link is on file for .com; current availability is unknown.

The case of the SNX160 measures approximately 37mm wide (not including the crown) by 12mm thick and is water resistant to 30 meters. This should be sufficient for splashes & rain but is not recommended for baths, showers, swimming or diving. The stainless steel bezel is fixed (cannot 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.
The SNX160 provides the following features and complications:
- Second hand
- Minute hand
- Hour 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). When setting the day keep turning the crown to get to the next language. On most models SUN will be red and on some models SAT will be blue.
- 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.
