Forgotten by many, not by me: the SKX Black Bullet, a discontinued rarity you'll never find

Overlooked, unknown, rad

Something from the annals of Seiko's history, bros. This is the Black Bullet. Overlooked. Unknown. A Time Lord that has been forgotten by many, but not by me or my friends. Look at him. A discontinued rarity out of the SKX family, and there are quite a few variants of the SKX, but few that get a second look. This one does. Good luck trying to buy one.

Look at that lollipop pip at the correct end of the seconds hand. This example is sat on the SKX Jubilee from my own personal SKX.

Specs, if you care

Who really cares, but fine: a 41 mm case, slightly smaller than the stock SKX, 13 mm thick, 45 lug to lug, 22 mm lugs. Inside, the 7S26. Non-hacking, non-hand-winding, which is quite irritating. But love it while you can, because these are a thing of the past.

In his words

"Called the Black Bullet. Overlooked, unknown."
