SEIKO Chrono SBDS001 Automatic Watch
Overview
The Seiko Prospex SBDS001 (6S37-0010) is a 44mm men's automatic watch with a titanium case and a black analog dial protected by sapphire crystal. It uses a 6S37 caliber self-winding mechanical movement that can be manually wound and hacked (the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out). It ticks 8 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 50 hours when fully wound and will self-wind when moved.
The SBDS001 is currently ranked #373 in popularity out of 1,137 watches in this catalog. No retailer link is on file for .com; current availability is unknown.

The case of the SBDS001 measures approximately 44mm wide (not including the crown) by 14mm thick and is water resistant to 100 meters. This should be sufficient for splashes, rain, baths, showers & swimming (shallow diving) but is not recommended for scuba diving. The crown screws down to help prevent it from being accidentally pulled out while under water. The watch has a display back to show of the 6S37 movement.The titanium bezel shows minute numbering and compass directions and can be rotated. The gap between the lugs is 22mm 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 22mm leather band such as a Hadley Roma, Hirsch or Crown & Buckle.
