The Seiko SK027 is a discontinued automatic dive watch produced by Seiko. The watch has some similarities to the Seiko SKX033, which is pictured side-by-side with the Seiko SKX027. Both watches are automatic dive watches with day-date complications at the 4 O'Clock position; both watches have bidirectional rotating dive bezels; and both watches house the in-house Seiko 7S26 movement, an automatic movement that is neither hackable nor hand-windable.
