The Seiko 5 Sports Automatic 24 Jewels SRPA01 SRPA01K1 SRPA01K Men’s Watch is a piece that can be worn all year round, through the hot summers, the breezy weekends and the fun-filled holidays. You can wear it to the pool, to the beach volleyball challenges and for any other kind of leisure activities that you can imagine.

The Seiko 5 Sports Automatic 24 Jewels SRPA01 SRPA01K1 SRPA01K Men’s Watch is a humble, yet desirable watch without the luxurious appeal of Swiss diver watches that you are not going to put into real work. It’s a straight and simple homemade recipe for a dive watch from a reputable manufacture that mixes a solid construction and robust water resistance with slightly vintage-inspired cool looks.

There’s no exotic material that made way into it; neither the finish of the Prospex or the complexity of the Velatura. It is just a ‘go anywhere you like’ kind of a dive watch in a package that will make you feel the warmth of luxury.

The Seiko tradition showcases itself every bit in the Seiko 5 Sports Automatic 24 Jewels SRPA01 SRPA01K1 SRPA01K Men’s Watch, the most notable being its workhorse 4R36 calibre, 21,600vph, 24 jewels in-house, self/manual-winding movement with hacking-seconds features and a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. All that proves just one thing: It’s possible to build a good watch outside the realms of haute horlogerie. Though entry-level, the Seiko 5 Sports Automatic 24 Jewels SRPA01 SRPA01K1 SRPA01K Men’s Watch is precisely crafted and adjusted to deliver a solid and durable feel and its extremely pleasant details bring to mind the divers belonging to the upper echelons.

The Seiko Presage Automatic 24 Jewels SRPA01 SRPA01K1 SRPA01K Men’s Watch has a comfortable 100m water resistance as well as the required legibility for a proper dive watch. Its large hands and indexes are highly legible at day; in darkness, it’s the legendary glow of the Seiko lume that speaks.

It keeps all possible confusions away and the best part is: a day-long exposure to bright light make it go all night long. The unidirectional rotating bezel marks the regular minutes in 15-minute gaps; it also acts as a countdown timer for any task, not just diving. Especially notable is the strap, offering the comfort and luxury of leather with the toughness of nylon backing it up for rough usage.

In a colour scheme perfectly suited for the summer, it doesn’t matter if you are an avid collector or someone wearing an automatic mechanical watch for the first time. Undoubtedly, the Seiko Prospex Air Diver 24 Jewels SRPA01 SRPA01K1 SRPA01K Men’s Watch in stainless steel is one of those pieces with which you can challenge any other watch.
