Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with Leather Strap SRPG39K1

Product Information

In terms of the text on the dial, the usual Seiko applied logo is set just above the newly designed Seiko 5 logo. “Automatic” written in cursive is situated at the bottom half of the dial. The Seiko Prospex SRP639K1 is part of Seiko’s Prospex collection. What does this mean? It means that, as the name suggests, it is built according to professional specifications. This in turn means that it is built according to the needs and wants of professional divers. And what better proof of quality and reliability than being used and trusted by professionals? Because if it is good enough for them, it is likely good enough for you, too. In 1983, “Seikosha” became “Hattori Seiko Co., Ltd.” Then, in 1990, they were renamed once again. After some restructuring and the creation of subsidiaries, “Seiko Corporation” finally settled on the name “Seiko Holding Corporation.” The Seiko Prospex SRP639 is built to last as a sporty and durable dive watch. But what is it that makes this watch so popular? Well, the first thing that makes this watch stand out about this timepiece is that it is different. Both in terms of design but also in its use of colors. 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.

Seiko’s collection of sports and dive watches includes numerous timepieces, ranging from affordable to prices in the tens of thousands. One thing they all have in common, however, is that they offer exceptional value for money in terms of finish, reliability, and build quality. Kintarō Hattori, the founder of Seiko, opened his watch and jewelry shop called “K. Hattori” in Tokyo, Japan. After several apprenticeships and partnerships with foreign trading firms, one being F. Perregaux & Co., he moved his shop to the main street of Ginza, Tokyo. Leather strap watches tend to fit without a problem for most wearers. However, watches fitted with metal bracelets often need adjusting to get the perfect fit.

The watch is almost the perfect weekday piece with only a 40-hour power reserve (just 8 hours short of the perfect weekend). The first thing that draws the eye is the contrast between the gold-painted applied arabic hour markers and the matte blue dial 4R36. Props to Seiko for coming up with this color combination. The gold and blue just meld together so well that a person might mistake this watch for a dress watch (and it practically can be, if you roll that way😉). The Seiko 5 line of watches was first introduced in 1963 and was Japan’s first-ever automatic day-date watch. The SRPG39 is one of many watches in the Siko 5 line. 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. This is generally a very simple procedure. We can do this for you, or you can get the watch adjusted locally. Option 1. Specify your wrist measurement and we will adjust it before being sent

What makes this watch stand out apart from the case shape and design is its color scheme. But it is important to note that whilst it uses a bright and bold yellow color for its accent, it is the only color It uses, which means it doesn’t become too bright and crazy. All of these small details are extremely important for the overall look and visual appeal of this timepiece, and they go together exceptionally well to create an absolutely stunning timepiece. Lastly, although it has a subpar strap, it’ll be easy to switch it out for something better since the watch comes with drilled lug holes. 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.These watches have been created with an 'in the field’ military design – taking inspiration from a style originally called a ‘trench watch,’ created to be robust and reliable – echoing the Seiko 5 Sports characteristics. Unlike many automatic watches, this model comes with a Seconds-Stop function which allows the wearer to completely halt the movement within the watch.

The 22mm lug width also makes it possible to change straps as you please. It looks great on a large number of straps, and some owners have even chosen to put it on a steel bracelet to add additional sportiness to it. SRP639K1 Specifications As it is a professional dive watch, it of course has a serious water resistance, which in this case is 200m /660feet/20ATM. This makes it suitable for diving, swimming, and any other type of water sports. Before we fill you in on the difference between the two movements, we must say that Seiko takes pride in producing watches with both Quartz and Automatic movements of equally superb quality. The decision regarding the movement will ultimately depend on your personal criteria and preference. I think I just heard a collective gasp from my slender-wristed readers. Yes, the SRPG is wide, but it wears surprisingly well on my 6-inch wrist. Even with the long lug-to-lug, the lugs drape down over my wrist, making the watch look smaller and a bit more compact. The fit is snug, and I can honestly say that this is one of the most comfortable watches I have ever worn on my wrist.The case has a diameter of 45mm including the shrouds, but note that it will depend on how you measure the case. It is of course made in stainless steel, but as you can notice from the very first impression, it’s not like any other. It’s no secret that Seiko makes extremely durable and reliable at affordable prices. Seiko has a wide range of timepieces, but for watch enthusiasts, their sports and dive watches have the most appeal. It seems clear to me that Seiko is creating watches in larger sizes than in years past. Their current line of divers (replacing the venerable SKX line) are all a whopping 42mm in diameter. Although not quite that wide, with a case that measures 39.4mm and a lug-to-lug of 48.1mm, SRPG is definitely larger than its predecessor. The movement is rated to have an accuracy range of +45/-35 seconds per day. However, Seiko movements usually perform better than their posted accuracy. SRPG39 Strap The hands too are large. The hour hand is arrow-shaped and painted white. The minute hand is painted yellow to match the color theme of this watch. It is sword-shaped and of course, has Lumibrite on it.
