Modifiable Parts Of The SKX007

Whether you’re a long-time watch modder or a newbie to the watch-modding world, you know that one of the most popular watches to ever be modded is Seiko’s SKX007. This is perhaps because of how affordable the watch is, or how accessible mod parts are for this model. Whatever the reason that might be, the SKX007 should be on your list of watches to mod.

Let’s take a closer look at the parts of the SKX007 that are modifiable.

The Case and Case Back

The first most apparent mod that you can do the SKX007 allows for is on its case. The original case on the watch is made of polished and brushed stainless steel, measuring 42mm in diameter. When combined with the crown, however, it can measure up to 46mm. Even so, the watch isn’t that big, making it possible for even smaller people to wear it comfortably.

You’ll find no sharp edges on the case, as the entire watch is designed to be round. Not only does this help the SKX007 receive its classic diver watch look, but it makes it very comfortable for the user to wear.

The Dial

Also known as the watch face, the SKX007’s dial is one that can be modified.

The dial itself originally comes in matt black with white markers for contrast. Thanks to its color theme, the watch, while a diver watch, seems to emit a luxurious aura that makes it suitable for wear even in a professional environment.

The Crown

The small dial you find on the outskirts of the watch is called the crown. Yes, people mod this too, and it is something you can easily do on most if not all watches, including the SKX007.

While most crowns are positioned at the 3 o’clock, the SKX007’s crown is located at the 4 o’clock position for the sole purpose of easy accessibility.

The Bezel and Bezel Inserts

The bezel along with the inserts is the ring that surrounds the crystal of the watch. While the SKX007’s bezels reflect the colors of the dial face, you can just as easily change it, too.

One fun fact about this watch’s bezel that you may not know is that you can only rotate it in one direction. While this might seem to be an inconvenience to you, it has a particular purpose: Because it is a diver watch, the one-way rotation ensures that the diver doesn’t accidentally rotate the bezel, adding to their time underwater.

Other Modifiable Parts

The SKX007 pretty much allows for most, if not all, of its part to be modified. The other elements that we haven’t talked about so far include chapter rings, crystals, springs, movements, gaskets, straps, hands, and so on.

To conclude, the Seiko SKX007, while being one of the more affordable divers watches you can find, offer you the ability to modify pretty much everything about it. From the crown to the bezels to the crystal and even the springs, this watch will surely satisfy anyone looking to modify to their heart’s content. Whether you’re going to radically change the entire look of the watch, or modify a few parts to fit your taste, rest assured that finding the parts will be easy to do!
