Monster crown reviews

#Monster crown reviews update#

I removed the new Monster from its box and was surprised by how well it fit my memory of my SXK779 Black Monster. Moving on…įrom the moment I received the watch in the mail, I could feel rose-colored glasses lowering over my eyes. I do very much wish this model could be had with the bracelet, but it should not be too difficult to source the bracelet later as the new models can fit a legacy 20mm SKX779/781 sourced bracelet. I chose to order the SRP313K1 as I felt its red hands and markers were a good fit for what would be at most a weekend and water sport watch. The SRP313K1 featured in this review, can only be had on the rubber strap. All models are water resistant to 200m, feature a unidirectional countdown bezel, screw-down crown and a Seiko-traditional day/date display. The new Monster can be had in a total of five versions spanning a standard black dial (SRP307K1), orange dial (SRP309K1), black case with an orange/brown sunburst dial (SRP311K1), black dial with red markers (SRP313K1), and lastly with a black bezel and chapter ring over an orange dial (SRP315K1). With general availability starting to appear this past August 2012, we were eager to learn how this new Monster stacked up against the original? Seiko would be releasing a follow-up to their forum darling and not only would it retain much of the original styling, but it would also now be powered by their 4R36 automatic movement which features both hacking and hand winding. Thanks to a leaked photo, Seiko fans learned months ago that we would see a new Monster.

Seiko must have noticed the widespread online fandom for the Monster as they released a cheaper Seiko 5 version (the 7S36 powered SNZF range) and then more recently they began teasing the existence of a full-fledged Monster update which we review in this article. Solid, reliable, nicely built, famously bright lume, great bracelet, and it doesn’t look anything like a Rolex Sub. Today still, many years after its release, you can still buy an SKX Monster for less than $200 and it is one of the best automatic sport watches I can recommend at that price point. The Monster was everything I was promised to me, but the relatively out-dated movement (no hacking or hand winding) and very casual “tool-ish” design meant it would often play second string to one of my other watches Having said that, we still feel that it was/is an extremely good “first mechanical watch choice.” Since this is not a review of the SKX779, we will fast forward many years to the present to find that I had sold that older Seiko Black Monster as I eventually felt it to be technically similar but aesthetically inferior to my Seiko SKX007 watch.
