The Seiko 5 Sports SRPL87K1 represents a bold reimagining of classic dive watch design, combining robust mechanical engineering with a vibrant yellow dial that commands immediate attention. Powered by the proven Seiko 4R36 automatic movement with manual winding capability, this timepiece delivers approximately 41 hours of power reserve and features a day-date complication displayed at 3 o'clock. The sunburst yellow dial, protected beneath a Hardlex crystal, is adorned with luminous applied indices and hands that ensure legibility in low-light conditions, while the unidirectional rotating bezel with its black insert provides essential dive timing functionality.
Housed in a robust stainless steel case measuring 42.5mm in diameter with a lug-to-lug span of 46mm, the SRPL87K1 strikes an ideal balance between wrist presence and everyday wearability. The watch is rated to 100 metres of water resistance, making it suitable for recreational swimming and snorkelling, though not for serious diving. The black silicone rubber strap ensures comfort during active wear and can be easily replaced to suit your personal style. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Seiko dealer, ensuring that every watch we sell comes with full manufacturer warranty and complete peace of mind.
The 4R36 calibre beating within this timepiece represents Seiko's commitment to accessible mechanical watchmaking, featuring 24 jewels and the brand's signature reliability. The exhibition caseback allows you to observe the decorated rotor as it winds the mainspring with each movement of your wrist, offering a captivating glimpse into the mechanical heart of your watch. Whether you're drawn to the distinctive yellow dial as a statement piece or appreciate the robust tool watch credentials, the SRPL87K1 delivers exceptional value in the accessible luxury segment.

A: The SRPL87K1 is water-resistant to 100 metres (10 bar), making it suitable for recreational swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water activities. The unidirectional rotating bezel provides basic dive timing functionality for surface intervals.
Q: How long will the watch run on a full wind?
A: The Seiko 4R36 movement provides approximately 41 hours of power reserve when fully wound. The watch winds automatically through wrist movement, but you can also manually wind it using the crown to ensure it remains running if not worn daily.
Q: Can I see the movement through the caseback?
A: Yes, the SRPL87K1 features an exhibition caseback that allows you to view the decorated 4R36 automatic movement and its oscillating rotor. This provides a fascinating view of the mechanical craftsmanship at work inside your timepiece.
Q: Is the yellow dial legible in low light conditions?
A: Absolutely. The SRPL87K1 features luminous applied indices and hands treated with LumiBrite, Seiko's proprietary luminous material. This ensures excellent legibility in darkness or low-light environments, a critical feature for any sports watch.
Q: Can I replace the rubber strap with a different one?
A: Yes, the rubber strap can be easily replaced with any compatible aftermarket strap or bracelet. Our team at Cassim & Co. can assist with strap changes and recommend suitable options to personalise your watch to your style preferences.
Q: Does this watch require a battery?
A: No, the SRPL87K1 is powered by a mechanical automatic movement that draws energy from the motion of your wrist. It does not require a battery and will continue running as long as it is worn regularly or manually wound.
Q: What is the accuracy of the 4R36 movement?
A: The Seiko 4R36 calibre typically runs within -35 to +45 seconds per day, which is standard for automatic movements in this category. Actual accuracy may vary based on wearing habits, position, and temperature. Regular servicing every 3-5 years will help maintain optimal performance.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or impacts that could affect the movement's accuracy or damage the case.
- Water Resistance: Although water-resistant to 100 metres, ensure the crown is fully pushed in and never operate the crown or buttons while the watch is wet or submerged. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water.
- Strap Care: Clean the silicone rubber strap regularly with mild soap and water to remove perspiration, dirt, and oils. Dry thoroughly before wearing. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause discolouration over time.
- Crystal Protection: The Hardlex crystal is durable but can scratch. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and store your watch separately from other timepieces or jewellery to prevent scratching.
- Movement Maintenance: If not worn daily, wind the watch manually or use a watch winder to keep the movement running. When setting the time, avoid adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date mechanism is engaged and can be damaged.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete movement service every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Our authorised service centre can perform routine maintenance, gasket replacement, and water resistance testing.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps.
- Bezel Care: The unidirectional rotating bezel should turn smoothly with distinct clicks. If you notice resistance or grinding, bring your watch to our service centre for inspection and cleaning.
