Your Seiko SKX is a legend – but even legends deserve an upgrade. Our SKX upgrade service breathes new life into your watch while preserving its classic charm.
1. Movement Upgrade
The original 7S26 is a reliable workhorse, but it lacks two essential functions: hacking and hand-winding. Our upgrade to the Seiko NH36 gives you both, along with the choice of:
- Day & Date discs: black or white
-
Languages: English/Chinese or English/Japanese (Kanji)
We often replace the crown during the upgrade, especially for clients who want an S-logo crown or a different style. This also allows you to keep your original crown and stem intact for future restoration.
2. Crown Upgrade
Choose your preferred style:
- Traditional SKX (with or without the S logo)
- Chunky (with or without the S logo)
-
Knurled (with or without the S logo)
3. Crystal Upgrade
The stock Hardlex crystal can get scratched or hazy over time. Upgrading to a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal improves legibility, durability, and overall appearance.
Options:
- Flat or domed
-
Clear or blue anti-reflective coating
We use premium components from Namokimods, DLW Watches, andTokeilab, and every upgrade includes: Movement regulation, water-resistance testing and replacement of damaged gaskets (if needed).
Please note, that this is only the standard service. Ask more about bezel and bezel insert upgrades for the SKX!
NOTE: Similar upgrades and customizations are available also for many other Seiko models, including e.g SNZG and SRPG field watches. Ask more via the contact form!
How It Works
Simply order the service, choose your preferred options, and send us your watch. We’ll upgrade, test, and return it, ready for years of enjoyment. Both the parts and the service include a 1-year warranty.
