About this deal

The accuracy of this movement is specified to +45 / -35 seconds per day, but the fact is that owners have reported much better accuracy in practice. Seiko 5 SRPE61K1 dial 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. 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. While the new Seikos are available on bracelet or a NATO strap, the SRPE51 comes with the former. The bracelet on the whole is quite jangly, unaided by hollow endlinks that don’t fit the watch perfectly. On the plus side, the sizing links are secured with simple split pins, making adjustments a snap. At the end of the day, I don’t need that much out of a bracelet, other than to size well and stay closed. This does both. And if you need more, I’m sure the aftermarket hordes will come out with some sturdier alternatives.

After being initially smitten by the new Seiko 5 Sport, I went through a brief period where I felt conflicted: How could I lust after a watch that seemed so simple, and worse yet, already had legions of lookalikes? Here’s where the earlier criticisms of the watch industry come in: When viewed like this, the Seiko 5 starts to seem like an amalgamation of Seiko’s greatest hits. Like someone fed data to an algorithm (or, just a large corporation), and out popped this watch, perfectly designed to be inoffensive and have broad appeal. The Seiko 5 SRPE53K1 is presented with a striking blue dial with a blue sunburst effect. This means that the dial reflects the light, particularly the sunlight beautifully. Around the outer edge of the dial, it has a blue-colored chapter ring on which the second markers are printed in silver. We are also able to offer an exchange to a different product if required, please specify this when returning your product.What is interesting is that Seiko is generally a highly appreciated and well-regarded brand both by novice collectors and die-hard enthusiasts. This has a lot to do with their durable automatic movements that are fitted in nice designs and with a good build quality for the price. It is therefore a great brand to start with or to consider if you are simply looking for a nice and high-quality automatic daily wearer/beater. To learn more about this watch, we are therefore going to review and look closer at the Seiko 5 SRPE61K1 in this article. Seiko 5 SRPE61K1 case

The stainless steel case is solidly built, with a mixture of brushed and polished surfaces that add interest and depth. The prominent polished bezel steps down to lightly brushed lugs; flowing from the bottom right lug is a highly polished bottom crown guard, adding a certain elegance to a feature that’s otherwise pure tool watch. The Seiko 5 SRPE61K1 is the perfect watch for someone who enjoys the design of dive watches but wants something less sporty and more elegant and versatile. The twist of removing the bezel to create a brand-new model is an interesting (but well-executed) decision from Seiko.

Authenticity

Seiko 5 SRPE53K1 has a stainless steel three-piece bracelet which is rather similar in design to the iconic Rolex Oyster bracelet. This bracelet looks sporty and goes very well together with the design of the watch. It is completely satin-finished except for the sides of the links. The bracelet uses a three-fold clasp to keep it secure on the wrist. We understand the importance of sizing the length of your watch bracelet or strap to provide the perfect fit. Our simple to use watch sizing guide allows you to measure the size of your wrist from the comfort of your own home. But thanks to the lug holes, it is easy to change the strap shall you wish to do so. It looks great on a wide array of straps. The industry standard of 20mm lug width, you have plenty of strap options. Specifications Seiko has done a great job with combining polished and brushed elements, as it enhances the watch’s impression of quality and also shows that Seiko has really paid attention to the details. At the same time, it’s a perfect balance between sporty but at the same time not too elegant.
