Seiko's third-party supply version of the 4R35, sold to external watch brands and modders worldwide. Adds hacking and hand-winding over the 7S26 it effectively replaced. The NH35 has become the default automatic movement for watch modding and microbrand watches, thanks to its low cost, reliability, and wide availability of compatible parts including dials, hands, and cases in the Seiko-compatible format.

02The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Caught Watches Epoch for its excellent accuracy, with one report of +0.8 seconds per day, and the inclusion of a sapphire crystal on both the dial and case-back. The bracelet is noted for its solid construction, brushed finish, and polished bevels, and the dial is appreciated for its unique design, enhanced by fifteen T100 tritium tubes providing significant luminescence. However, some owners find the watch to be slightly large, and opinions are divided on its value, with some considering it a good companion at its price point while others feel it is overpriced due to its movement and dial simplicity. One owner identified the watch as having 165 feet of water resistance and sub-dials that move, resembling a Breitling Navitimer but lacking a rotating bezel. On balance, owners rate the Caught Watches Epoch highly for its luminous tritium tubes and impressive accuracy at its price point, despite some reservations about its overall value and size.
