Two 38mm Seiko Divers To Get Instead Of The Tudor Black Bay 54 (SNE569, SKX013 / SRPK)

At the moment, we have a great selection of smaller watches in the 38-40mm range from all sorts of brands like Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Seiko, Grand Seiko and more. But what if you want a watch that is smaller? Perhaps in the 37mm or smaller range? Not quite as many choices. But now we thankfully have more thanks to the newest release from Tudor, the Black Bay 54, a 37mm version of the ever popular 39mm Black Bay 58.

However, finding one can be a challenge let alone the risk of paying nearly $4,000 to maybe try out a new size. But thankfully we have options from Seiko that can scratch our small dive watch itch, or just be awesome watches on their own.

In this video, I’m going to go over two alternatives to the BB54 (and BB58), and they are the SNE569 and the SKX013 which today will also represent the all new Seiko SRPK line of 38mm dive watches. They not only look fantastic but they also offer the full dive watch experience while being around the 37-38mm mark. And in a world without that many dive watch options in this smaller size, I’m glad that we have these awesome options.
