Seiko 5 Sports Owner Review : Sparkling, luminous and sporty

SRPG47K1, the reference is a bit barbaric, but what is hidden behind it? A superb limited edition (or not given the 11,000 copies produced) of the Seiko 5 Sports divers. A diver's look for this watch that succeeded the famous SKX in the Seiko range. On the technical side, the 100m of water resistance will seem light for diving, especially without a screwed crown. The bezel, although graduated, does not have LumiNova either. The indexes have very effective LumiNova. On the dimensions side, the 42.5mm diameter is very pleasant, the well-integrated crown at 4 o'clock helping to save width. The lug-to-lug length is 46mm. The bracelet (of questionable quality) of 22mm is well integrated. On the emotional side, not much to tell beyond the little story of the limited edition for the 140th anniversary. Design-wise, be careful, we have a very high level. The case is really great, the polished and brushed surfaces, the beauty of the bezel, the flange... Not to mention the dial, because this watch, although sporty, is a real dial watch and that's what will make you fall in love if you handle it. In short, a fun purchase, a sporty and summery look for less than €300, a reliable movement that won't be the most precise but will go far and will be easily maintainable.
