Seiko SARB033
A sports watch is a must-have if not a good first in every collection for the fact that it is able to go through rain or shine. When a Seiko 5 just isn’t good enough for you, this SARB033 is the next level up before you proceed into something in between and the world of Grand Seikos. It comes with a black dial in my opinion more suited to a fairer skin tone for the contrast while the egg-shell white (SARB035) is better suited to a darker skin tone but it ultimately boils down to one’s preference.
For not being a Rolex, this Seiko wouldn’t be condemned with all the stereotypes that come with an Oyster Perpetual yet you’re not shortchanged care given to each and every one of these SARB watches. At a tenth of the price, hours have been put into from the case to the clasp. Seiko could have been lazy by slapping on a gloss black face paired to a metal band but they didn’t, therefore this is a watch that punches way above its weight.
When the 033 is put under bright light or while under the cruel sun, you’ll notice a transitional gradient from black to brown. A mix of brushed and polished metal surfaces on both sides of the case while the bracelet is comfortable on the wrist for long hours paying huge tribute to the best of the best out there; the Oyster clasp. Despite being really good, it is not as good. The crown too is done right with the brand’s abbreviation proudly stuck onto it.
