The Seiko 5 Sports SRE004K1 is a refined expression of Japanese horological craftsmanship, combining the reliability of automatic movement with elegant two-tone aesthetics. This ladies' timepiece features a 28mm stainless steel case paired with a gold-tone bezel, creating a sophisticated contrast that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to weekend leisure. The white dial displays applied gold-tone indices and hands, complemented by a practical day-date complication at 3 o'clock, while the signature Seiko 5 logo affirms its heritage within one of watchmaking's most respected collections.
At the heart of this timepiece beats the Seiko Calibre 2R06, a mechanical automatic movement with manual winding capability and a 41-hour power reserve. The exhibition caseback reveals the intricate mechanics within, offering a glimpse into the precision engineering that has defined Seiko's reputation since 1881. Protected by scratch-resistant Hardlex crystal and water-resistant to 100 metres, this watch balances technical capability with everyday wearability. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of this distinguished Japanese manufacture, ensuring every timepiece carries the full international warranty and our commitment to after-sales excellence.
The two-tone bracelet features a centre row of gold-tone links flanked by brushed stainless steel, secured with a fold-over clasp that ensures comfortable all-day wear. This compact sports watch measures just 11.2mm in thickness, making it an ideal companion for the modern professional who demands both functionality and refinement.

FAQ
Q: Is the Seiko SRE004K1 a genuine automatic watch?
A: Yes, the SRE004K1 is powered by the Seiko Calibre 2R06, a mechanical automatic movement that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. It also features manual winding capability via the crown, and offers a 41-hour power reserve when fully wound.
Q: What does the day-date complication display?
A: The complication at 3 o'clock displays both the day of the week and the date, providing practical functionality for everyday wear. Both can be adjusted via the pull/push crown.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming?
A: With 100 metres of water resistance, the SRE004K1 is suitable for swimming and recreational water activities. However, it is not recommended for diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before water exposure.
Q: What is the difference between Hardlex and sapphire crystal?
A: Hardlex is Seiko's proprietary mineral crystal, offering excellent scratch resistance at a more accessible price point than sapphire. While not as hard as sapphire, Hardlex provides superior protection compared to standard mineral glass and is more shatter-resistant than sapphire in high-impact scenarios.
Q: Is this watch suitable for a smaller wrist?
A: Absolutely. With a compact 28mm case diameter, the SRE004K1 is specifically designed for ladies' wrists. The proportions ensure comfortable wear without overwhelming smaller wrist sizes, while the bracelet can be sized to your exact requirements by our in-house team.
Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
A: Seiko recommends a complete service every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. This involves disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, and regulation of the movement. Our authorised service centre can handle all maintenance requirements.
Q: Does the two-tone finish wear off over time?
A: The gold-tone elements on the SRE004K1 are manufactured to Seiko's exacting standards and are designed for long-term durability. With proper care and regular wear, the finish will maintain its lustre for many years. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals and having the watch professionally cleaned periodically.

Care Guide
- Wind your watch manually if it has not been worn for more than 41 hours to ensure the movement is fully powered before wearing.
- Store your automatic watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn.
- Avoid exposing your watch to strong magnetic fields, such as those generated by speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and secured before any contact with water to maintain the 100-metre water resistance rating.
- Rinse the watch and bracelet with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated pool water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Do not operate the crown or any pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have your watch pressure-tested annually if you regularly expose it to water, as gaskets and seals can degrade over time.
- Clean the bracelet and case periodically with a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove accumulated dirt and skin oils, particularly between the links.
- Avoid impacts and shocks that could damage the automatic movement or crystal, and remove your watch during high-impact sports or manual labour.
- Have your Seiko serviced by an authorised service centre every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement.
- Do not attempt to open the caseback yourself, as this will void the warranty and may introduce dust or moisture into the movement.
