Sitting on top of the case is a Hardlex crystal. Hardlex is not as hard as sapphire crystal but has still proven to be much more durable than standard mineral glass. At this price point, we don’t expect to see sapphire crystal. I have a Guanqin Chinese watch, which was a very good buy. But the feel of its NH35 while operating the watch is not even close to the Seikos I own with an 4R35.I'm afraid the above statement is incorrect. They are produced in Japan, Malaysia, but also by TMI in China. More recently there are also NH35 with unmarked rotors apparently not produced by TMI, and there has been a bit of speculation where they are being made. (Note: With "unmarked" I mean movements that have no country of origin markings, but also have no "TMI" markings. The country of origin is also not present on the rotors of TMI movements I have seen.) The Seiko 5 Sport series was first released in 1963, its creation aimed at providing stylish yet affordable automatic watches to the younger generation of the 60s. 50 years later, the Seiko 5 Sport has been reborn, each model showcasing the key traits of the original models as well as new, updated features. Seiko established itself throughout the 20th century as being a driving force in the advancements that took place in the watching world. For example, in 1956, Seiko were the producers of the first winding wristwatch made in Japan. Then in 1964, Seiko became the official timer for the Tokyo Olympics. And then most notably Seiko unveiled the first quartz wristwatch, the Astron, in 1969. Marking the beginning of the quartz revolution. Or equally impressive the creation of the world’s first TV watch in 1982. And even more relevant today, with our abhorrent use of non-renewable energy sources, Seiko’s Kinetic. This watch had the ability to generate its own power from the movement of the wearer.

We are also able to offer an exchange to a different product if required, please specify this when returning your product. The mechanism within the watch is 4R36 automatic movement which is built in house and the calibre is comprised of 24 Jewels and a 41-hour power reserve. The watch has a water-resistance of 100m/10bar/330 feet. This is enough for showering and swimming but it is not suitable for diving. With that said, the SRPD73 looks more dive watch than it actually is in a way. But having its price in mind, it’s still a watch with great performance.

The Seiko SRPD73 comes with a 42.5mm stainless steel which is almost identical to the predecessor, with one core difference being that it has drilled lugs which was well-received news when it first came out as it makes it so much easier to remove and change straps and bracelet.I was a little bit surprised when i got it out of the box, as what appeared as white in photos, is actually a little off-white, some form of beige. It gives a little bit of an appearance of gilt, but not quite. The watch case is slightly larger than my SRPE, but you don't really feel it. Part of this experience being the band, which is a 22mm silicone strap. It is very comfortable and lightweight, making the overall watch very easy to wear. That is probably the only surprise: It really doesn't feel like a diver on the wrist. It has less of a presence than my SRPG27 (bracelet).
