Seikomatic-R

This particular Seikomatic 8346 has a few stylistic choices that really set it apart from its predecessors and counterparts as well. One is the crystal; it is a 2.5mm flat top, domed inner that is typically used for dive watches. The one that has been fitted is a 1:1 replica of the original and in perfect condition. Second is the coin edge bezel which has oblong facets, a unique choice among the genre. It is well warn and shows the base metal below, however the wear is very even which is pleasing in its own way. The champagne silver dial and Delphine hands are classic 60s and both are in excellent condition, with the dial have just a single knick between the 6 and 7 o’clock hour makers. Besides that, the dial has no edge wear, staining or lifted varnish. The 8346 movement is a classic Swiss Auto layout which tend to be broad and flat. That being, this particular 8346-9010 wears a bit bigger than its successor the Lord Matic, who’s movement was designed from the ground up and resulted in more compact profile.

Having a larger case for its time, stylized bezel and tall beveled crystal make this watch a good choice if a larger watch with classic vintage style is desired. Additionally this watch has a lot of fictionality for daily use, including a calendar and both automatic and hand winding. This watch might not always pair well with some contemporary dress, however It could be dressed up quite easily and could fit into an office setting without fuss.
