Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch Seiko 5 Sports

Product Information

Besides the differences in the bezel inserts, both bezels are very similar with their steel construction, textured surface on their outside perimeter, and rotate only unidirectionally. The SRPD53 also has lugs holes, a feature that can at first sound trivial. However, these are vital for a watch as versatile as this one where you could theoretically use a different strap each day of the week. With the lug holes, you can change straps in less than a minute and avoid the lug scratches that many watch collectors already know and dread.

Another significant upgrade encountered in the SRPD53 is the machine beating within – the Seiko 4R36 self-winding movement. This is an automatic caliber with 41 hours power reserve and 24 jewels. The accuracy is rated to +45s/-35s per day which I find appropriate for a timepiece in this price category. It wouldn’t be truthful to say that the SRPD53 was well-received by ardent Seiko followers. Indeed, many deemed it an inauthentic and subpar substitute for the esteemed Seiko Pepsi icon. It’s likely that the dial will be the characteristic that most polarizes collectors. With the blue sunray dial, the look of the Pepsi diver strays from utilitarian dive watch into the jewelry segment thanks to its luster and delicate finish.For more than two decades, the SKX009 reigned as one of the best and most affordable Pepsi dive watches available. It garnered a large following and made its way onto the wrists of countless (satisfied) collectors worldwide.

Movement Caliber Number 4R36 Movement Type Automatic with manual winding Power reserve Approx. 41 hours Jewels 24 Functions The mechanism within the watch is 4R36 automatic movement which is built in house and the calibre is comprised of 24 Jewels and a 41 hour power reserve.Even if it did cost more, the Jubilee bracelet option was a clear winner not only because it looks much better than the rubber strap, but because it is much more comfortable to wear.
