This relatively new Seiko 5 Sports is not an SKX, but it sure does look a lot like it. The SRPD is however starting its own distinct journey.
Most obvious is of course the Seiko 5 logo on the dial. While it took me a while to get used to it, much like the Prospex logo I’ve quickly grown to accept it. Looking a bit closer you will see that you are greeted with applied indices which is a nice little upgrade. Another improvement is visible through the display caseback, the Calibre 4r36. A low-beat movement with increased accuracy when comparing to the previous generation 7s26. It now also features hacking seconds and hand-winding.
Outstanding review again! I love how it looks like the SKX, but the fact that it looks like a diver yet has no screw down crown still bothers me.. Should have kept that in imho. Still a very cool watch and soooo much choice
Fantastic video review again, just got one of these for my son and one for myself 🙂
