The Seiko SKX. Whether your preference is the 009, 007 or the smaller 013 it's hard to argue with the value proposition this watch offers.

The most obvious difference is in regards to their model numbers. The J in the SKXJ reference is related to the fact this variation is made in Japan. The country the K references to is somewhat unknown with many people saying it's Singapore, South Korea or Malaysia. There are also mentions online that the J and K also are denoting the market the watch was intended for rather than the origin of manufacture.

Let's break down each feature of the watch and where they differ...

Different dials?

First up is the dials on each variation. Looking at the two watches side by side, almost everything is the same. There is no difference between handset, indices, seconds track or day date function. The first noticeable difference between the two is the additional text on the SKXJ version.

The J features the same 'Diver's 200m' in a burnt orange colour, but now with the addition of '21 Jewels' underneath. The SKXK keeps the clean aesthetic with just the 'Diver's 200m' on the dial. The next, and actually the final difference between the SKXJ and SKXK is the additional 'MADE IN JAPAN' at the bottom of the dial on the SKXJ at the 6:30 position.

The SKXK has 7S26- at this position instead, referring to the movement powering the watch. Admittedly, these are very small differences between the models but if there is one thing the watch world teaches us every day, it is that small subtle differences make a surprisingly big difference.
