About this deal

The Seiko Prospex SRP639K1 is part of Seiko’s Prospex collection. What does this mean? It means that, as the name suggests, it is built according to professional specifications. This in turn means that it is built according to the needs and wants of professional divers. And what better proof of quality and reliability than being used and trusted by professionals? Because if it is good enough for them, it is likely good enough for you, too. These watches have been created with an 'in the field’ military design – taking inspiration from a style originally called a ‘trench watch,’ created to be robust and reliable – echoing the Seiko 5 Sports characteristics. The watch is almost the perfect weekday piece with only a 40-hour power reserve (just 8 hours short of the perfect weekend).

The hands too are large. The hour hand is arrow-shaped and painted white. The minute hand is painted yellow to match the color theme of this watch. It is sword-shaped and of course, has Lumibrite on it. I think I just heard a collective gasp from my slender-wristed readers. Yes, the SRPG is wide, but it wears surprisingly well on my 6-inch wrist. What makes this watch stand out apart from the case shape and design is its color scheme. But it is important to note that whilst it uses a bright and bold yellow color for its accent, it is the only color It uses, which means it doesn’t become too bright and crazy. Kintarō Hattori, the founder of Seiko, opened his watch and jewelry shop called “K. Hattori” in Tokyo, Japan. After several apprenticeships and partnerships with foreign trading firms, one being F. Perregaux & Co., he moved his shop to the main street of Ginza, Tokyo.The movement is rated to have an accuracy range of +45/-35 seconds per day. However, Seiko movements usually perform better than their posted accuracy. SRPG39 Strap If you enjoy sporty dive watches with a fun color twist and enjoy the Seiko Tuna case design, the Seiko Prospex SRP639K1 could be a watch for you. It has a bulky, unique, and sporty presence on the wrist. The discreet yet bold yellow accents add to the sportiness of this timepiece. Lastly, although it has a subpar strap, it’ll be easy to switch it out for something better since the watch comes with drilled lug holes.

Currently, the Seiko Group has seven watch brands under their name: Seiko, Grand Seiko, Credor, Pulsar, Alba, Lorus, and Orient. Overview of Seiko 5 Line Seiko is well-known for the Astron, which when it was unveiled in 1969, became the world’s first production quartz watch. All of these small details are extremely important for the overall look and visual appeal of this timepiece, and they go together exceptionally well to create an absolutely stunning timepiece.If you are a fan of the Seiko tuna case design but also have a hard time wearing large watches, this watch is the answer to your prayers. Even with the long lug-to-lug, the lugs drape down over my wrist, making the watch look smaller and a bit more compact. The fit is snug, and I can honestly say that this is one of the most comfortable watches I have ever worn on my wrist.

The case has a diameter of 45mm including the shrouds, but note that it will depend on how you measure the case. It is of course made in stainless steel, but as you can notice from the very first impression, it’s not like any other. In 1983, “Seikosha” became “Hattori Seiko Co., Ltd.” Then, in 1990, they were renamed once again. After some restructuring and the creation of subsidiaries, “Seiko Corporation” finally settled on the name “Seiko Holding Corporation.” The 22mm lug width also makes it possible to change straps as you please. It looks great on a large number of straps, and some owners have even chosen to put it on a steel bracelet to add additional sportiness to it. SRP639K1 Specifications Leather strap watches tend to fit without a problem for most wearers. However, watches fitted with metal bracelets often need adjusting to get the perfect fit. Unlike many automatic watches, this model comes with a Seconds-Stop function which allows the wearer to completely halt the movement within the watch.It’s also worth having in mind that despite the fact that it is smaller than the standard Seikotuna size, it’s still a large watch. If you were to get this watch for any other reason aside from the case or the movement, then definitely get it for the dial. Firstly, the iconic tuna shape is bold, different, and unique. This is a dive watch, but its design makes it look like no other. With this said, the almost round case with aggressive case details (shrouds) makes it stand out as a very sporty watch. The purpose of the ”shroud” is to work as a case protector/case guard to keep it well protected.
