FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and snorkelling?
A: Yes, with 100-metre (10 bar) water resistance and a screw-down crown, the SRPK31K1 is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. However, it is not designed for scuba diving or high-impact water activities.
Q: How often does the automatic movement need to be serviced?
A: Seiko recommends servicing automatic movements every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. The Calibre 4R36 is renowned for its reliability and longevity when properly maintained.
Q: Does this watch come with the original Seiko warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Seiko retailer, Cassim & Co. provides this watch with a full 3-year international Seiko warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing when you purchase from our Mall of the South boutique. For online purchases, our watch servicing team can assist with sizing adjustments.
Q: What is the advantage of the exhibition case back?
A: The transparent case back allows you to view the intricate Calibre 4R36 movement in action, showcasing the craftsmanship of Seiko's automatic watchmaking. It's a feature appreciated by watch enthusiasts who value mechanical horology.
Q: Is the 38mm case size suitable for smaller wrists?
A: Yes, the 38mm diameter makes this watch highly versatile and particularly well-suited to slimmer wrists (15-17cm), though it wears beautifully on larger wrists as well due to its balanced proportions and 44.2mm lug-to-lug measurement.
Q: How do I use the unidirectional rotating bezel?
A: The unidirectional bezel is a timing tool originally designed for divers. Align the triangle marker at 12 o'clock with your minute hand to track elapsed time. The bezel only rotates counter-clockwise as a safety feature to prevent accidental over-estimation of remaining air supply during dives.
