The Case: The Seiko 5 Sports SRPK11K1 comes in a 42.5mm stainless steel case with a brushed finish. Sporting a two-tone unidirectional rotating crown, it exhibits a 60-minute count-up scale. The bezel's grooved walls ensure easy operability. Positioned at 4 o'clock, a push-down crown is flanked by protective guards on either side, preventing displacement. Notably, the case features hardlex crystal, renowned for being scratch and shatter resistant. The Dial: In a striking orange tone, the dial features a bold black horizontal bar across its centre. Designed for effortless legibility, it incorporates luminous baton-style indexes and hands, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions. A day-date window sits at 3 o'clock, while the Seiko 5 Sports logo appears in black beneath the 12 o'clock marker. The Bracelet: The watch elegantly rests on a 3-link oyster-style stainless steel bracelet, treated to a brushed finish. It secures around the wrist through a three-fold push-button deployment clasp. The Functions: Seiko's 4R36 automatic movement, with 24 jewels, operates at 21,600 beats per hour, providing a substantial 40-hour power reserve. The inclusion of Seiko Diashock safeguards the internal mechanisms from potential damage due to drops or impacts. Expected to gain/lose between +45/-35 seconds daily, the watch boasts water resistance up to 100 meters, suitable for swimming and snorkelling.
