As per title. Looking for a small faced Seiko for my son. Bought him a SKX023, but a pin broke in the band and he lost it frown

He was gutted. Want to replace it as a gift for his SATS, but thinking of a a chrono.

IS there a small faced 'daytona-esque' Seiko?

Are they automatic or quartz only?

Cheers

Son is 11, so it will need to be a small face. May have to ditch the chrono idea then!

A Nato is probably mandatory now - though the pins in the SKX023 were the weak point.

The picture doesn't do it justice, it's a lovely, flat faced watch. I have one and I love it. hard to get hold of now though.

Failing that, the same website may give you an idea of something else. Or try the ex-British Military chrono watches.
