Vintage Casio
Seiko divers watches 7002 were discontinued in 1996 and was replaced by the SKX series
The Seiko 7002 is a highly collectable diver’s watch that was replaced by the SKX line in 1996. The Seiko dive watch SKX173 is the latest in the SKX line and is virtually identical to the recent 7002 model. The only discernible variation in these models is the date display. If you take a peek closer however you will see that a cool new feature of the SKX173 is the auto-winding apparatus meaning you will by no means have to buy a battery for this watch.
In most cases you will not be able to locate new vintage Seiko diver’s watches 7002 but you can obtain used ones on any popular auction site. Unless you are a Seiko dive watch collector you will most likely rather have a new one, particularly if the watch is intended to be a gift. The 7002 was a wonderful model but if you want a new improved 7002 then I would recommend looking into the Seiko watches SKX173.
The Seiko SKX173 is just like the 7002 in appearance but has all the latest up to date gadgets that you want in this generation of Seiko diver’s watches. The SKX173 is continually receiving rave reviews and is living up to being another great watch that will last for generations to come.
If, however, you love the classic Seiko dive watch style but can not afford spending the $300 price tag there are other options available to you. Casio as well as Citizen make some very simular watches that are idea for divers as well. They have the same classic style and a cheaper price tags at around $50 for the Casio and $150 for the Citizen. Both of these simular models can be found at the link below.
