At its core, the watch is powered by the reliable Seiko NH35 automatic movement, ensuring precision and durability. Completing the package is a classic Tropic-style FKM rubber strap, offering both flexibility and resilience.

And the most requested feature—NO DATE! Enthusiasts have long asked for a no-date automatic, and this is the first of what will likely be more to come.

I LOVE this watch!

Like many others,I don't want a date, so the NH35 movement is what I'm looking for.

I have pretty small wrists and big dive watches didn't look good on me, but this one actually does - it's chunky without being bulky.

The orange over black looks great, and most importantly is VISIBLE - there's not a lot of ornamentation to confuse the eye.

The rubber strap is well made - good enough that I have caught it on my motorcycle jacket a couple of times and it's handled it perfectly.

I have several other 'budget' quality watches, but this is the oneI reach for almost every day.

My watch is terrific, and the service is first class. The postman tossed the package with the watch onto my front porch, knocking the timing out of whack. Rather than making me go through the rigamarole of dealing with the post office, Jay simply exchanged the watch. The vintage looks absolutely kill me. I wanted a small, bling-free, vintage style dive watch - not an easy combination to find - and am thrilled with my Sheffield.

Very happy with the purchase. Watch is a nice size and sits really well on my wrist. Super good value and I appreciate the story behind the brand. This is my second Sheffield, the other is a GMT that I purchased from a watch show in Washington DC. Met the owner of the company who was super nice. Definitely recommend the company and their products.
