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. 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.

If you are a fan of the Seiko tuna case design but also have a hard time wearing large watches, this watch is the answer to your prayers. 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. 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😉).Unlike many automatic watches, this model comes with a Seconds-Stop function which allows the wearer to completely halt the movement within the watch. 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. 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 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.

If you were to get this watch for any other reason aside from the case or the movement, then definitely get it for the dial. 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 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. 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.

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. If you enjoy sporty dive watches with a fun color twist and enjoy the Seiko Tuna case design, the Seiko Prospex SRP639K1 could be a watch for you. It has a bulky, unique, and sporty presence on the wrist. The discreet yet bold yellow accents add to the sportiness of this timepiece. 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. 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 represents the original five key features of every Seiko 5 still present today: Automatic movement, Day-date display, Water Resistance, Recessed crown and Durable case and bracelet.

Seiko arrived in watchmaking with the mindset to create a special segment targeted towards the Japanese watchmaking industry. This mindset has led to various creations and has broadened the world of watchmaking with Asian ingenuity. To further expand its watchmaking expertise, Seiko launched the Seiko Sportsmatic 5 in 1963, making it the first self-winding watch in Japan. Inspired by the Sportsmatic 5, the Seiko 5 Sports collection was launched in 1968. Since the launch of the collection, Seiko has kept the design uniform with very few changes to its DNA.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.
