Seiko - SNA411P1 - Men's Quartz Chronograph Watch - Black Dial - Grey Steel Strap

Product Information

When you think about Seiko, The Seiko Flightmaster SNA411P1 is perhaps not the traditional Seiko watch that first comes to mind. This watch is big, bold, sporty, and rather unique. This one could be a great option if you prefer a watch dial with numbers at each hour, rather than just regular markers. The large characters certainly make this watch easy to read amongst the complex design. For the money, the Seiko SNA411P1 is a fun and unique piece that despite its larger size on paper is rather universal and can be worn for all kinds of occasions. The yellow markings ties with the bright yellow chronograph of the watch, giving it a sporty yet elegant touch that supports its water-resistance of about 200M. Its internal bezel is a bit sloped, so it enhances the overall readability and it lends a bit more interest in its vision. The chronograph has a measurement of around 60 minutes and it can run up to 12 hours in a matter of 1/5 seconds. It has a deployment type clasp that has a push-button and it can work in up to 200m of water since it is water-resistant. Key Features/Benefits of Seiko Flightmaster SNA411 An Aviation Watch with a Busy Dial

This ‘Chronospeed’ features another useful feature in the form of a screw-down crown. As such, the water seal should be better than other options on this list and give you some peace of mind if you plan on submerging this watch. Considered by some to be a superior watch to the Brietling Navitimer and available for under half the retail cost, the German ‘Sinn 903’ has a very interesting story behind it.After taking everything into account, such as design, build quality and price, this watch received a well deserved 8.5/10 from The Watch Blog. Being battery-powered, it is reliable and very precise. This is of course crucial for a pilot’s watch. As mentioned, the watch has three subdials, two of which are used as the chronograph and one that works as an alarm (or an additional time zone). The second half features a selection of watches that clearly pay homage to the Breitling, but add some more unique design cues and individual flair to the mix. Enjoy.

One thing that you will notice is how the stainless steel bracelet seems not matching well with the watch. The thing is the watch dial is very busy with lots of things on it. Most Sinn models come fitted with an ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement, which is considered one of the very best movements available, or alternatively the highly regarded Sellita SW500; which is essentially a clone of the former (Sellita used to make movements under contract for ETA).Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute. A very gorgeous aviation watch indeed and has a rotary slide rule and chronograph. But it loses to the Seiko FlightMaster SNA411 in terms of usefulness as it does not has the compass ring and some unit conversion (weight and volume) The watch is comfortable and looks super cool. I love looking at the face of it all day. It has a bi-directional bezel for when you need to calculate things (if you're actually a pilot, that is). It's 200m water resistant, although you have to remember that this is a pilot's watch, not a dive watch. I like that this watch also features an alarm, although the alarm isn't too loud. It's more for remind you to do things rather than to wake you up. The alarm feature can also serve as a second time zone when you're flying between different time zones, although when you're using the GMT function you can't use the alarm feature. The alarm can't be used unless the hands are on the same position as the main minute and hour hands. The watch was designed and developed primarily for pilots and engineers, and with the built-in chronograph, analog alarm, and a rotary slide rule, you can accomplish a great number of tasks with the watch itself. We all know and adore the Omega Speedmaster — the first watch on the Moon, official watch for NASA astronauts. The Breitling Navitimer has its own prestigious history and diehard fans as well. It is the embodiment of the quirky yet beloved slide rule bezel. These two watches are pinnacles of aviation horology. However, they aren’t the best. Oh no, if anything, they are only thematic stepping stones to the true king of flight watches: the Seiko Flightmaster. It is the best of Speedmaster and Navitimer, with a few quirks and special features of its own.

There’s also a rather impressive Bidirectional coin edged bezel with slide rule. Slide rules can look complicated but you can learn to use them quite easily. If you want to learn about this then it was summed up quite well here. It is also water resistant and it can outstand around 200M of water, this wristwatch can even be useful during scuba diving and it looks amazing on any style. It can be used for casual events or business meetings. If you are looking for a watch that can do more than just tell the time, then the Seiko Flightmaster SNA411 is the watch for you. It is the perfect watch for pilots and engineers, it can also be worn by those who want a watch that is loaded with features and a watch that looks great in whatever style you wear, may it be sporty or classy. It is a budget-friendly watch that will not require you to spend more than you plan to.

The markers are very small – just some small dots on the dial which are also applied with lume. Unless you are new to analog watch, this will not be a problem. As you might expect, it comes with the usual trimmings, including steel construction and sapphire crystal. If you like the feeling of a very heavy watch, at 150 grams, this certainly gives the impression of quality (by association to density). The Seiko SNA411 is a quartz watch, which means that it’s powered by a battery. The seconds-hand moves in a sweeping motion (continually moving, instead of the “tik-tok” approach). A quartz solution was needed, as these watches are more precise than automatic watches – and precision is incredibly important for pilots. The Chronograph and not just a pissing contest of which watch flew further, the Flightmaster is the more capable watch. water resistance, suitable for professional marine activity, serious surface water sports, and skin diving.
