#WatchGecko #SeikoSKX #StrapShowcase
The Seiko SKX is probably one of the most talked about Seikos available today. Released in the 90s, it’s been the go-to beater watch or first mechanical watch for many. But as you probably know by now, we love changing straps out on watches to make even the most popular watches more individual.
Today, let’s talk about strap suggestions for the SKX and 5 solid options that can really transform and upgrade the watch.
So, as always, before we get into the straps, let’s quickly go over the things you need to consider when looking for some straps for the SKX:
Clearly, this is a diving watch. Purists will argue you cannot put a divers watch on anything but rubber, metal or nylon straps. However as you’ll see, a great leather strap is ideal for a more comfortable fit.
The 42mm size and 22mm lugs make the watch sound pretty large, however, a short lug to lug distance keeps the watch proportioned nicely on the wrist.
The use of colour on the SKX is very well balanced, meaning we can decide whether to pick up on this colour with straps or take a step back from it and compliment the watch.
Simple Handmade Pepsi
The first option is admittedly an obvious one, but the Simple Handmade with red and blue stitching is a perfect fit for the SKX. Of course the red and blue stitching matches the Pepsi bezel of the watch but also the light brown leather used emphasises the white lume aspects of the dial.
This strap is great for casual relaxed environments where the playfulness of the watch can be fully explored.
284 blue
This next option is more of a serious upgrade for the SKX rather than something massively different. You can order the SKX from the WatchGecko site today which comes with the standard Seiko black dive rubber straps. Personally, I don’t think this makes the most of the SKX. Pick yourself up a blue 284 for a few reasons. Firstly, it’s blue which matches the dial and bezel a lot better. Secondly, this strap is insanely soft and supple which means its super comfortable. And finally, the overall design of the strap is a lot thinner than the standard Seiko one.
Marine Nationale red and green
Next, we’ve changed it up with a Marine Nationale NATO in Green with the red stripe. This is a classic go-to option if you enjoy the look of this striped NATO. A cool unique way of picking up on the red in the dial.
sailcloth red
Continuing the theme of picking out the colours of the watch, here the Sailcloth with red stitching, well does just that. Sailcloth material is renowned for its strong and durable properties, making it hard wearing and resilient for water-based activities. This strap is made from water-resistant Sailcloth print PVC rubber material. Oh, the strap also comes with quick release spring bars as well making for an easy strap changing process.
highley dusty brown
Finally we have something that really changes the watch up from the other suggestions. If you want a comfortable strap that uses a unique leather and really makes the watch feel uber casual then the Vintage Highley dusty brown option needs to be on your radar.
