The Seiko 5 Sports SRPK35K1 is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic SKX diver, reimagined in a versatile 38mm case that suits a wider range of wrist sizes without sacrificing presence or legibility. This mid-size automatic dive watch features a striking orange sunburst dial with applied luminous indices, a unidirectional rotating bezel with black insert and gold-tone markings, and the robust Seiko Calibre 4R36 movement beating within its stainless steel case. The day-date complication at 3 o'clock adds practical functionality to this ISO-certified 100-metre water-resistant timepiece, making it equally at home in the boardroom or beneath the waves.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for the full range of Seiko watches, ensuring that every timepiece we supply carries the full manufacturer's warranty and the assurance of genuine craftsmanship. The SRPK35K1's 38mm diameter and 12.1mm thickness deliver exceptional wrist presence without the bulk of larger dive watches, while the 20mm bracelet with solid end links and secure clasp ensures all-day comfort and security. The vibrant orange dial, inspired by the Japanese tradition of bold colour application, creates a distinctive aesthetic that stands out in Seiko's 5 Sports collection.
Powered by the Calibre 4R36 automatic movement with manual winding capability and hacking seconds, this watch offers approximately 41 hours of power reserve and the reliability that has made Seiko a benchmark in mechanical horology. The see-through caseback allows you to admire the movement's intricate mechanics, while the hardlex crystal and screw-down crown protect the movement from the elements. Whether you're drawn to its compact proportions, its vivid dial execution, or its lineage as part of Seiko's legendary dive watch heritage, the SRPK35K1 represents exceptional value in the automatic sports watch category.

FAQ
Q: Is the Seiko 5 Sports SRPK35K1 suitable for diving?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, a screw-down crown, and a unidirectional rotating bezel, this watch is suitable for recreational swimming and snorkelling. However, for serious scuba diving, Seiko recommends their Prospex range with 200m+ ratings.
Q: What is the advantage of the 38mm case size?
A: The 38mm diameter makes this watch more versatile than traditional 42mm+ dive watches, fitting comfortably on smaller wrists whilst maintaining excellent legibility and presence. It's an ideal size for daily wear both in and out of formal settings.
Q: Does the Calibre 4R36 movement require battery changes?
A: No, the 4R36 is a fully mechanical automatic movement that winds itself through the motion of your wrist. It can also be manually wound via the crown and requires no battery. Regular wearing keeps it running continuously.
Q: Can I see the movement through the caseback?
A: Yes, the SRPK35K1 features an exhibition caseback that allows you to view the Calibre 4R36 movement in operation, showcasing the intricate mechanics and finishing of this Japanese automatic calibre.

A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be adjusted to fit your wrist precisely. Our team at Cassim & Co. offers complimentary bracelet sizing with purchase to ensure a perfect fit.
Q: What does the day-date complication display?
A: The window at 3 o'clock displays both the day of the week and the numerical date. Both can be adjusted via the crown positions, and the day display is available in English.
Q: How do I maintain the accuracy of my Seiko 5 Sports watch?
A: Automatic movements typically run within -15 to +25 seconds per day when fully wound. Regular wear, avoiding magnetic fields, and periodic servicing every 3-5 years will maintain optimal performance. Cassim & Co. offers professional servicing for all Seiko timepieces.

Care Guide
- Wind the watch manually by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times when first setting or if the watch has stopped, to ensure adequate power reserve.
- Avoid operating the crown or chronograph pushers whilst underwater or when the watch is wet, as this may compromise water resistance.
- After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent corrosion of the bracelet and case.
- Do not adjust the day-date complication between 9pm and 3am, as the mechanism is engaged during this period and forced adjustment may damage the movement.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from strong magnetic fields such as speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Have the watch professionally serviced every 3-5 years to maintain water resistance seals, lubricate the movement, and ensure optimal performance.
- Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically with a soft brush, mild soap, and water to remove accumulated dirt and skin oils, then dry thoroughly.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, chemicals, solvents, or perfumes, which may damage seals and finishing.
- If the watch stops running, it requires winding. The 4R36 movement has approximately 41 hours of power reserve when fully wound.
- The hardlex crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratchproof. Avoid impacts against hard surfaces such as concrete or stone.
