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.

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Melbourne Watch Company Fitzroy's layered dial with applied indices and the bracelet's mixed finishes, finding it offers stunning quality for the price. Some owners note the bezel is not ceramic, and one owner found the watch not as good as expected from a micro-brand. A reviewer points out issues with bezel alignment, the chronograph second hand not resetting perfectly to 12, and a crooked 6 o'clock index on the Chronograph variant. Overall, owners rate the Melbourne Watch Company Fitzroy highly for its attractive dial and bracelet finishing at the price point, despite some noted alignment quirks.
