SEIKO 5 SNKH63 Automatic Watch
Overview
The Seiko SNKH63 (7S26-03J0) is a 38mm men's automatic watch with a stainless steel case and a black 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 SNKH63 is currently ranked #134 in popularity out of 2,613 watches in this catalog. Check availability on Amazon.com. This watch is part of a family of four watches that are identical except for their color or strap.

The case of the SNKH63 measures approximately 38mm wide (not including the crown) by 11mm 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 20mm and the canvas band can be removed using a band removal tool to be replaced with another band.
Transform the look of this watch by adding a 20mm leather band such as a Hadley Roma, Hirsch or Crown & Buckle.
The SNKH63 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.
