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. In the dial department is where the SRPD53 starts to shine. The watch has a royal blue dial with a sunray texture that radiates beautifully under direct light. On the other hand, in the shade, the dial is closer to a deep blue tone that is just as appealing. Montre magnifique, le bracelet est sans doute le plus grand vendue donc aucun problème si vous avez un gros poignée, personnellement je vais faire régler le bracelet dans une boutique car trop grand.

If you require an extra large bracelet or you are in need of additional links these may be supplied at an additional cost. Of the dozens of different 5 Sports models that have been released by Seiko since their introduction in 2019, perhaps none is so burdened to succeed as the SRPD53. That’s because the SRPD53 is essentially the direct replacement of the beloved Seiko SKX009 “Pepsi”. When the SKX was discontinued in 2019, a direct replacement to the SKX009 was introduced: the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD53K1.Unlike many automatic watches, this model comes with a Seconds-Stop functionwhich allows the wearer to completely halt the movement within the watch. 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 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. 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.

A very nice watch in its class. It is not an upper end luxury time piece nor is it trying to be. It’s comfortable, functional and the case, bezel, dial and accompanying bracelet are very appealing to the eye without over doing it. The fact that the crown does not screw into the case was not a deal breaker to me as I have no plans taking it underwater. Others may find fault with that omission in its design though. Unfortunately, this new feature came at a cost – the crown no longer screws into the case. This decreases the depth rating of the SRPD53 to 100m or 330ft of depth. In my experience, this degree of waterproofness is plenty though some have taken it as a sign of poor execution on behalf of Seiko. I couldn’t disagree more. 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. The bezels of both the SKX009 and the SRPD53 feature a Pepsi motif where the majority of the bezel is a dark blue color while the segment from minute 0 to minute 20 on the diver’s scale is in red. Both feature silver numerals, though the SKX009 possess full 60-minute graduations and a luminous pip at the top index, neither of which are present on the 5KX Pepsi.I have no doubt that the Pepsi diver you prefer will depend exclusively on your own personal taste. This sounds obvious but allow me to elaborate.

Excellent review its seems to be what I am experiencing while wearing this timepiece exactly is painted hereThe Seiko 5 SRPD53 has a case that is virtually identical to that of the SKX it replaced. More specifically, the dimensions are:

Likewise, you’ll see I’ve used pictures of both an SKX009J and an SKX009K. These are the two reference numbers for the Made in Japan (J) and non-Made in Japan versions (K), respectively, of the SKX009 Pepsi. Once more, the differences are merely aesthetic. Movement Caliber Number 4R36 Movement Type Automatic with manual winding Power reserve Approx. 41 hours Jewels 24 Functions While both the SRPD53 and the SKX009 are Pepsi Seiko divers, there is a clear difference in design ethos from one to the other. The SKX009 was designed to look like a professional diving instrument; towards this goal, its dial is less flashy or ornate and the OEM rubber strap is stiff since it is undoubtedly intended to be worn over a diving suit. 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. The surface finish of the stainless steel on both the SKX and SRPD’s case is the same: high-polish case flanks and a grained finish on the top of the case. On the other hand, the lugs of the modern SRPD53 are differentiated by lug holes which the SKX009 does not possess. Pepsi Diver’s Bezel Comparison
