15 Best Seiko Watches Under $500
Historically, Seiko has a hand in every horological development, even leading the charge during the quartz revolution in the late 70s. This is evident in the sub-500 category, where you’ll find watches with a gamut of functions including automatics, radio sync timekeeping, solar power, and chronographs.
We ensured that a diverse array of functions, styles, and constructions are represented. As generous as Seiko is at this price point, we had a lot to work with! Let’s get to it!
- Seiko Prospex Samurai Wave
- Seiko Diver SKX007J1
Fun and practical, this professional diving watch features a unidirectional bezel, 200m of water resistance, and Seiko’s hackable 4R35 automatic movement. The special edition wave graphic decorates the bright blue dial, which makes the SRPD23K1 as visually delightful and distinct as it is useful.
Seiko’s classic and well-loved high-value diver! It features the robust 7S36 automatic movement, and a quintessential dive design with Rolex-esque indices. Pair it with a stainless steel Oyster-style bracelet to get a Submariner homage that also stands on its own, or with an accordion rubber strap for a tool aesthetic that matches the practical look of dial.
