Seiko

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.

03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Makara Sea Turtle for its attractive bronze case, pleasing matte maroon dial, and excellent readability, enhanced by a double-domed sapphire crystal. The watch is noted for its value, with one owner reporting accuracy within +/- 2 seconds per day. Some owners mention a hefty feel, and the non-applied indices are flagged as a minor drawback, while one user found the finishing crude. The notched rubber strap can be difficult to attach, and a "brass knuckle" clasp is disliked by one owner. Overall, owners rate the Makara Sea Turtle highly for its aesthetic appeal and value, despite minor criticisms of finishing and strap components.
