Ref. SZSB007 takes a slightly dressier approach, swapping out the printed markers with applied ones. Additionally the 6 is closed, which perhaps makes this one a touch less quirky. The dial is rendered in a dynamic gray sunburst, and the whole thing is set off with a lume color that is a bit more subtle overall, which works well with the more classic look of the piece.

Both watches are well sized at 40mm, with a lug-to-lug of 48mm and a thickness of 11mm. Inside the case is a familiar Seiko workhorse, the 4R35 caliber, which is visible through the case’s Hardlex back. Ref. SZSB006 comes on a matching steel bracelet, while Ref. SZSB007 is paired with a faux-gator leather strap. It’s a shame that both don’t come with a bracelet since it’s easy to get an aftermarket leather strap down the line.
