Seiko SKXA53 from 2005 (Original President Bracelet)

For sale is the highly collectible Seiko SKXA53, a model that rarely appears on the market and is coveted by watch enthusiasts and collectors alike. Often referred to as the "Seiko Bullet" due to its distinctive bullet-shaped luminous indices, the SKXA53 (along with its sibling, the SKXA55) has become a standout within Seiko’s diver range.

What sets this model apart is its bold aesthetic, notably the flat black dial that is complemented by a striking red chapter ring, creating a dramatic contrast and enhancing the overall presence of the watch.

The SKXA53 and its counterpart, the SKXA55, are also notable for being the only Seiko divers to feature the signature president-style bracelet, a rare design choice that elevates the watch’s appeal, both for its comfort and its unique look.

This particular example is in exceptional mint condition, with only minor hairline scratches visible on the case, bracelet, and bezel. The case remains in excellent shape with only light signs of wear, while the dial and hands are free from any discernible aging, retaining their crisp, original appearance. The crystal does show the typical light hairline marks, but nothing that detracts from the watch’s overall allure.

It comes mounted on its original president-style bracelet, which comfortably fits wrists up to 7.25 inches.

For privacy, the serial number has been covered.
