20mm Gunny X MT ’74’ Light Brown Handmade Quick Release Reversible Bund Leather Strap 20P20BPV13C1D44

First impression for the SZSB006 on hand was that it looked very much alike to the Seiko SARB017 Alpinist model. The color contrast by using a matte black dial with cream colored cathedral hands makes the watch very attractive with minimal pattern for a classic look.

In terms of specifications, there are identical between the two different colored JDM SZSB006 and SZSB007 watch models. The two JDM models use the same 40mm X 48mm size time-date stainless steel watch case, with 100m of water resistance, and both are powered by the automatic Seiko 4R35 movement.

The SZSB006 model comes in a matte black dial with cream colored cathedral hands & printed hour markers, along with Arabic markers at 12 and 6 o’clock. On the other hand, the SZSB007 features more or less the same design, with the exception of the hour markers, which are applied rather than printed, the Arabic numerals (which feature a closed six), and the dial color itself, which is done here in a grey sunburst color and a less vivid (and less faux aged-looking) lume.

An imitation crocodile strap makes this one look more appropriate for dinner and less appropriate for the field. Nonetheless, both the Stainless steel (SZSB006) & faux-gator leather (SZSB007) JDM models would be a great additional to ones watch collection.
