Thankfully, Seiko has answered the call to revive the SNXS lineup. Retaining the timeless case design, the new iteration undergoes a comprehensive upgrade from dial to movement. So, how does this rejuvenated SNXS compare to its predecessor?
The feel of the watch immediately distinguishes the two, simply due to their respective eras of origin. While the original SNXS may appear dated upon closer inspection, the new iteration is undeniably contemporary. Its modern, clean aesthetic stands in stark contrast to the previous model’s understated, casual charm. And that’s certainly a positive evolution for the SNXS lineup, with the latest generation continuing the story rather than being a mere one-to-one copy. The latest version truly belongs to this era.
What are the design changes that contribute to this refreshed look and feel? Firstly, the case receives an upgrade in construction and finish. Unlike the simple all-polished look of its predecessor, the new case features brushed and polished finishes, creating sharper outlines through contrast. The precision of the case’s edges and boundaries is notably enhanced, reminiscent of the cases of Grand Seiko watches. Additionally, it’s worth noting that the case is now water-resistant to 100 meters, an improvement from the discontinued model’s splash resistance.
