Seiko SRPD77K1

Seiko 5 Sports Stainless Steel Case Green Canvas Strap Automatic Mens Watch SRPD77K1 The Case: The 43mm gun metal grey case of this Seiko 5 Sports model is made from polished stainless steel, which offers the wearer unparalleled levels of anti-corrosiveness, as well as ensuring greater shine longevity. Hardlex glass has also been used in order to p... morerovide further protection. There is also a non-screw down crown present besides the 4 o’clock marker, the crown guard has a brushed finish, which creates a subtle, yet satisfying, contrast between it and the rest of the polished case. Similarly, the green uni directional bezel is made from stainless steel too. On the outer edge of the bezel there is a raised pattern design, which is reminiscent of the ‘clous de paris’ design, which is a technique commonly applied to Patek Philippe watches. The case back is transparent, which allows the wearer to view the inner mechanisms of the timepiece. The Strap: The green strap of the watch is made nylon, it augments maximum wearer comfort due to the fact it is softer and more flexible than many other strap types. The watch fastens using a standard buckle, that has been embossed with the Seiko logo. The Dial: The textured green dial of the watch has earned this timepiece its 'avocado' nickname. The unique dial is complemented by the luminescent indices and hands. The hour hand comes in a cathedral style, whereas the minute hand comes in an arrow style, both have an elegant polished silver trim. The second indices are positioned within the chapter ring which is another subdued, but pleasing, touch. A day date window replaces the 3 o’clock marker, this can be displayed in either English or French. The new Seiko 5 Sport logo is present beneath the 12 o’clock marker, whilst ‘automatic’ is displayed above the 6 o’clock mark.  The white chapter ring subtly harmonises with the blue of the bezel and the dial.  The Functions: The Seiko 5 Sports range boast Seiko’s new upgraded 4R36 automatic. It is the same movement that is found in more expensive Seiko models, such as the ‘Turtle’ that belongs to the Prospex range. The movement consists of 24 jewels and it operates at 21,600 beats per hour, this ensures the watch has 40 hours of power reserve. It includes Seiko Diashock, which essentially protects the inner mechanisms from any damage the watch may sustain if it were to be dropped or knocked. It is expected to either gain or loose between +45 / -35 seconds per day. Finally, this watch has a water resistance of 100 metres, making it suitable for swimming and snorkelling.
