Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch Seiko 5 Sports

Product Information

Accuracy is not like quartz... mine runs fast. It's correct enough where it doesn't get annoying but this is not a watch if you're obsessed with accuracy 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. The silver bracelet of the watch is made from highly durable stainless steel, that has been finished using a brushing technique. This creates a subtle, but welcomed, contrast between the polishing of the case and the brushing of the bracelet. It comes in the style of an oyster bracelet, which is associated with the Rolex brand. It fastens using a three fold clasp. The Dial: Introduced in 1968, the Seiko 5 Sports range was the brand’s idea of creating a sub-model of its popular ‘5’ range, which was launched in 1963 with the birth of the Sportsmatic. I know, it’s a tad confusing. In any case, the 5 Sports line was designed for more rigorous activities compared to the 5s. As a result, today’s 5 Sports are also targeted at buyers who intend to use them as stylish, affordable, mechanical beaters that can take a hit. 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.

Generally like the idea of this low tech (no electronics at all) yet beautiful work of mechanical engineering on my wrist.

Seiko established itself throughout the 20th century as being a driving force in the advancements that took place in the watching world. For example, in 1956, Seiko were the producers of the first winding wristwatch made in Japan. Then in 1964, Seiko became the official timer for the Tokyo Olympics. And then most notably Seiko unveiled the first quartz wristwatch, the Astron, in 1969. Marking the beginning of the quartz revolution. Or equally impressive the creation of the world’s first TV watch in 1982. And even more relevant today, with our abhorrent use of non-renewable energy sources, Seiko’s Kinetic. This watch had the ability to generate its own power from the movement of the wearer. That’s because it IS sized right as the case is 99% identical to the one found on the SKX. At 42.3 mm, it’s already on the smaller side for most diver-styled watches. The compact lugs and lug-to-lug distance of 45.7 mm further combine to make it feel like a 39 mm watch on the wrist instead. Oh, and since we’re on the subject of lugs, great news! They’re drilled on the new 5s. That’s another plus point in my books. As for the lug width, they’re the same as the SKX at 22 mm. The case has a mineral crystal (Hardlex). No, it’s not a sapphire crystal, likely to keep the cost down, but the mineral crystal will do the job well also. It is placed in between a Sapphire crystal and a regular glass crystal. It won’t get scratches from regular usage, but if you accidentally hit it against a hard object, it will naturally be more prone to scratches than a sapphire crystal.
