The Seiko SKX173 gives the familiar SKX diver a different face: squared-off hour markers replace the mostly round plots of the SKX007, making the dial feel more deliberately utilitarian. This US-market sibling shares the reassuringly substantial case and crown tucked down at four, but those markers give it an identity worth seeking out rather than treating it as an interchangeable SKX.

For an enthusiast buying one today, originality matters more than chasing a particular production year. SKX watches have long been popular modification platforms, so pay attention to whether the dial and hands retain the SKX173 layout rather than an aftermarket interpretation. Its 7S26 automatic movement neither hand-winds nor hacks; a seller describing either function may be offering a movement-swapped example. That can be useful, but it is a different proposition from the factory watch.
