SEIKO Diver SBCM025 Quartz Watch
Overview
The Seiko SBCM025 (8F35-00A0) is a 38mm men's quartz watch with a stainless steel case and a blue analog dial protected by hardlex crystal. It uses a 8F35 caliber quartz movement. The watch should run for up to 10 years before needing a new battery.
The SBCM025 is currently ranked #354 in popularity out of 751 watches in this catalog. No retailer link is on file for .com; current availability is unknown. There are two model numbers for this watch which indicate different distribution locations, a different band type, or different text on the dial. The alternate model number is SBCM027.

The case of the SBCM025 measures approximately 38mm wide (not including the crown) by 12mm thick and is water resistant to 200 meters. This should be sufficient for splashes, rain, baths, showers, swimming and even scuba diving. The crown screws down to help prevent it from being accidentally pulled out while under water. The stainless steel bezel shows minute numbering and can be rotated. The gap between the lugs is 20mm and the rubber band can be removed using a band removal tool to be replaced with another band.
The SBCM025 provides the following features and complications:
- Second hand
- Minute hand
- Hour hand
- 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.
- Perpetual calendar to correctly update the date based on the month and whether it is a leap year. Watches without a perpetual calendar must have their date adjusted after months with fewer than 31 days.
- Rotatable bezel
