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.

Owners widely report Praesidus field watches are nicely made. Reviewers note the Seiko NH35 movement is an option. One owner finds the recessed 4 o'clock crown historically accurate but difficult to operate. The khaki lume is criticized by one reviewer. Overall, owners and reviewers find Praesidus field watches to be well-made for the price.
