The SKX007J used for this review is presented on the classic Seiko "wave" black rubber strap. As a result, the complete reference for this watch would be SKX007J1. Both the SKX007J and the SKX00K are now discontinued. 01:55 Case Measurements While often advertised as a 43mm watch, the SKX007 measures closer to 42.5mm. Its lug-to-lug dimension is 46mm, the case thickness is 14mm, and the strap size (between the lugs) is 22mm. 03:00 The stainless steel case of the SKX007 has a brushed finish on its top side and a contrasting, high-polish finish on both of its flanks. 03:38 SKX007 Diver's Bezel & Crystal The SKX007's bezel rotates unidirectionally and has a black diver's scale insert with full minute calibrations and a luminous pip at 12. The metal component of the bezel itself is ridged on its outer perimeter to help with grip. The crystal on this SKX007 is a Seiko Hardlex crystal which is scratch-resistant and shatterproof. 05:55
