Seiko Men Analogue Automatic Watch with Stainless Steel Strap SRPE51K1

Product Information

As a dive watch, it has a unidirectional rotating bezel. Specifically, the srpd51k1 has a blue aluminum bezel insert. 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. 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. We are confident that our prices are the lowest that you will find in the UK.

Stainless steel case and bracelet. The case measures at 40 mm in diameter. A three-fold clasp with push-button release secures the bracelet. 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. There’s not a lot to dislike here. It’s highly legible, has moderate water resistance, great styling, and is eminently wearable. It’s not a go anywhere, do anything watch, but it can go most places and do most things.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.

Seiko 5 Sports srpd51k1 Automatic Watch Review - Millenary Seiko 5 Sports srpd51k1 Automatic Watch Review - Millenary

JIm on Quit Accepting, Start Hating – Why Brand Snobs and Replica Watches do NOT Belong In This Community! 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.WatchNation is a company registered in England and Wales at 15-17 Charles Street, Hoole, Chester, CH2 3AZ, UK. The Seiko 5 Sport series was first released in 1963, its creation aimed at providing stylish yet affordable automatic watches to the younger generation of the 60s. 50 years later, the Seiko 5 Sport has been reborn, each model showcasing the key traits of the original models as well as new, updated features. As for the hands, there are no changes here. The Seiko 5 Sports models appear to have retained the same broad, sword-shaped hours and stylized arrow minutes hands. As for the seconds hand, it’s the same story as well with its long counterbalance and lumed lollipop end. Of course, plenty of LumiBrite is to be found on the hour markers and hands but no lumed pip on the bezel, unfortunately. 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. 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.

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 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.Watch sizing can only be generally carried out on watches with metal bracelets, steel, titanium, gold, etc. 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. The only thing is, it seems the Seiko mod community hasn’t caught up yet. Does anyone know where I could find an alternative strap/bracelet with curved end links that would fit this? Reply I called and the team was extremely helpful and patient with me, making sure the bracelet is the perfect length for my wrist. Home to a plethora of limited-edition timepieces, the Seiko 5 Sports collection is also brimming with brilliant collaborations. One such collaboration is with the streetwear brand, HUF. Launched with two iterations of the 5 Sports, the HUF Limited Edition is a vibrant addition to the collection.
