About this deal

I’ve tried a few times but I can never seem to get it to line up with the chapter ring. Looks like Seiko had ideas to troll us and decided to preserve one of the SKX’s more… notable traits. The new Seiko 5 sports collection took the world by storm and introduced a large range of new watches. One of the watches in the model collection is the Seiko 5 Sports srpd51k1 automatic watch. This is an affordable yet durable model that won’t let you down, and can take a beating. While legibility is beyond reproach on this watch, for the sake of clarity and reading accuracy, the seconds hand should feature a more traditional lollipop, on the proper end, so when you’re reading the watch in the deep recesses of your parents basement after a 12-hour Fortnite marathon, you’ll be able to tell exactly what time it is, without confusion—or math.

So, what does this mean? Should we consider the new 5 Sports as successors to the SKX range? Well, that depends on what you’re looking for. There are several differences that could appear like an upgrade or a downgrade, depending on where you stand. You’ll spot them on the way down, I promise. For over 50 years, Seiko 5 Sports has delivered consistently high levels of reliability, durability, performance and value, endearing them to lovers of mechanical watches worldwide. Today, with a new design, this much-loved timepiece is re-born. Everything you’ve said you don’t like about the SKX is just a feature of any dive watch. This watch is nothing like a dive watch and much more like a dress watch. Seems a little silly to even compare the two… Reply Unlike many automatic watches, this model comes with a Seconds-Stop functionwhich allows the wearer to completely halt the movement within the watch.

Watch sizing can only be generally carried out on watches with metal bracelets, steel, titanium, gold, etc. And on that note, let’s begin with the (inhale) Seiko 5 Sports SRPD51K1… “The case looks… decently-sized. And very familiar…”

The case has a length (lug-to-lug) of 45.7mm. Bear in mind that the Rolex Submariner 116610 has a lug-to-lug of 50.54 mm. I called and the team was extremely helpful and patient with me, making sure the bracelet is the perfect length for my wrist.The Seiko srpd51k1 has a water resistance of 100 meters, 330 feet, or 10 bar. This means that you can wear it when swimming, but it’s not the ideal watch to wear if you are going deep diving. But at the same time, nowadays only very few people go deep diving with their dive watches.

On average, a delivery to the EU will take between 3-5 working days and delivery to the rest of the world will take 5-7 working days. Seiko arrived in watchmaking with the mindset to create a special segment targeted towards the Japanese watchmaking industry. This mindset has led to various creations and has broadened the world of watchmaking with Asian ingenuity. To further expand its watchmaking expertise, Seiko launched the Seiko Sportsmatic 5 in 1963, making it the first self-winding watch in Japan. Inspired by the Sportsmatic 5, the Seiko 5 Sports collection was launched in 1968. Since the launch of the collection, Seiko has kept the design uniform with very few changes to its DNA. As a dive watch, it has a unidirectional rotating bezel. Specifically, the srpd51k1 has a blue aluminum bezel insert.If it weren’t clear, I like the change—I love the change. I think it ties the case together: look at how the polished tops of the crown guards finally have a friend to play with, instead of some itinerant, everchanging rotation of numbers that always seem a little off. Stainless steel case and bracelet. The case measures at 40 mm in diameter. A three-fold clasp with push-button release secures the bracelet. On the outer ring of the dial, we have the minute markers, which allow the dial itself to appear as more clean.

Absolutely in love with the watch and the service I received. The blue looks so much nicer in person. Real deep blue. Divided into various series, the 5 Sports collection can be diverse too. With the SKX Sports Style, the timepieces feature timepieces that are more inclined towards being dress watches. Whereas, the SKX Suits Style is particularly a dress watch with a beads strap. Emphasising more on the performance aspect more, the SKX Specialist Style is a more robust take on the 5 Sports. Similar to the Suits Style, the fashion aspect of this sports collection is also reflected in the SKX Street Style. The silver stainless steel bracelet features a three link oyster style. The maximum bracelet setting is 23cm which can then be fastened using a fold over clasp. It also sits at a tidy lug width of 20mm which complements the 40mm case well. This bracelet is sure to catch to eye when glistening in the sun. The Dial: The Seiko 5 was actually first released by the brand in 1963. As sports watches became more popular and people wanted watches that were suitable for swimming and handling harsh conditions and treatment.Gregory Sze on Quit Accepting, Start Hating – Why Brand Snobs and Replica Watches do NOT Belong In This Community!
