FAQ
Q: Is the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD55K1 suitable for diving?
A: Yes, with 10 bar (100 metres) water resistance and a unidirectional rotating bezel, the SRPD55K1 is suitable for recreational diving, snorkelling, and swimming. However, it is not intended for professional saturation diving or extreme depths. The screw-down crown ensures water integrity when properly secured.
Q: Does this watch need a battery?
A: No, the SRPD55K1 is powered by the Seiko 4R36 automatic movement, which winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. It also features manual winding capability via the crown, so you can wind it when not wearing it. There is no battery required.
Q: What is the power reserve of this Seiko 5 Sports watch?
A: The 4R36 movement provides approximately 41 hours of power reserve when fully wound. If you wear the watch daily, the automatic winding mechanism will keep it running continuously. If left unworn, you can manually wind it via the crown to restart the movement.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet can be sized by removing or adding links to achieve a perfect fit. Our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing when you purchase the watch from us, ensuring optimal comfort from the moment you wear it.
Q: What is the difference between Hardlex and sapphire crystal?
A: The SRPD55K1 features Hardlex crystal, Seiko's proprietary mineral crystal that offers excellent scratch resistance and durability at this price point. While sapphire crystal is harder and more scratch-resistant, Hardlex provides very good protection for everyday wear and is less prone to shattering from impact.
Q: How accurate is the Seiko 4R36 movement?
A: The 4R36 automatic movement typically runs within approximately +45 to -35 seconds per day, which is standard for this class of mechanical movement. Actual accuracy can vary based on wearing habits, position, and temperature. The movement can be regulated by a qualified watchmaker if needed.
Q: Is this watch covered by the Seiko warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Seiko retailer, the SRPD55K1 comes with a full 3-year international Seiko warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is valid worldwide at authorised Seiko service centres.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Although water-resistant to 10 bar, rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water to prevent corrosion and buildup on the bracelet and case.
- Crown Care: Always ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened after setting the time or date to maintain water resistance. Do not operate the crown or bezel while underwater.
- Winding: If the watch has stopped, manually wind it by unscrewing the crown and turning it clockwise approximately 20-30 times. The 4R36 movement cannot be overwound due to its slip clutch mechanism.
- Date Setting: Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date mechanism is engaged and adjustments during this period may damage the movement.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Periodically clean the stainless steel bracelet with a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove accumulated dirt and skin oils, particularly between the links. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Magnetic Fields: While the watch has magnetic resistance of 4,800 A/m, avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic sources such as speakers, magnetic clasps, or MRI machines, as this may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a watch winder if you prefer to keep the automatic movement running continuously.
- Impact Protection: Although built for sports use, avoid severe impacts or dropping the watch, as mechanical movements contain delicate components that can be damaged by shock.
- Service Intervals: We recommend having your Seiko automatic watch serviced every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance. This includes movement cleaning, lubrication, gasket replacement, and water resistance testing.
- Professional Servicing: Always have your watch serviced by authorised Seiko service centres or qualified watchmakers to maintain warranty validity and ensure genuine parts are used.
