Seiko · Family: Diver's 200m
The Seiko SKX007 is a discontinued 42mm automatic dive watch (Diver's 200m family), retired from catalog around 2019 after decades as an entry-level cult favorite. Cazador has zero verified PricePoints, so no price range can be published. Its differential: the workhorse Calibre 7S26 has no hacking seconds and no manual winding — it only winds via wrist motion.

The Seiko SKX007 built its reputation the unglamorous way: by being tough, honest, and cheap enough that nobody worried about scratching it. Cased in a 42mm stainless steel shell rated to 200 meters and certified under ISO 6425, the SKX007 paired a black dial with a day/date window at 3 o'clock and a unidirectional 120-click bezel with an aluminum insert.
Powering it was the Calibre 7S26, an automatic movement that became almost as famous as the watch itself. The 7S26 has no hacking seconds and no manual-winding function — turning the crown does nothing to the mainspring, which only winds through the rotor responding to wrist motion. Neither trait is a defect by Seiko's design intent; both became part of the SKX007's identity within the modding and enthusiast communities that grew around it.
The crystal is Hardlex, Seiko's own hardened mineral glass rather than sapphire. Seiko fitted the reference with a matching steel bracelet from the factory, though rubber-strap variants circulated in the market as well.
Seiko discontinued the SKX007 from its catalog around 2019, replacing it in spirit with Seiko 5 Sports models. The SKX007 is not a current-production watch, and any unit for sale is drawing from remaining new-old-stock or the secondary market.
Cazador does not yet have verified price observations for the SKX007.
Yes. Seiko retired the SKX007 from its catalog around 2019, succeeding it with Seiko 5 Sports models built on the same design language.
Cazador has zero verified PricePoints for the SKX007, so we cannot publish a reliable price range.
No. The Calibre 7S26 inside the SKX007 does not hack — pulling the crown to set the time does not stop the seconds hand.
No. The 7S26 automatic movement has no manual-winding function. It winds solely through wrist motion via the rotor.
No. Seiko fitted the SKX007 with Hardlex, its proprietary hardened mineral crystal — not sapphire.
Yes. It carries 200m water resistance and ISO 6425 dive-watch certification, the same standard applied to purpose-built dive tools.
The SKX007 measures 42mm in diameter, cased in stainless steel, with a matching steel bracelet from the factory.
