About this deal
An automatic watch, the Seiko 5 Sports has a 4R36 automatic caliber functioning at 21,600 vibrations per hour. With a power reserve of 41 hours, there are 24 jewels in the movement and so this is one reliable automatic watch.
The SRPH29 is a pilot watch that has a very particular and distinct look to it. There are a few types of watch straps that I think would pair exceptionally well with this type of watch.Nice review Anthony. I like the comparison to the SNK. I love the look of these Seiko pilot watches, both the SNK and SRPH, but was particularly excited to see the SRPH recently, since I was hoping for a larger pilot watch than the SNK. I didn’t even realize it was out until last week.
Seiko has just released a lineup of new field-inspired models from the recently refreshed and growing Seiko 5 Sports lineup. Last year, we saw the Seiko 5 dive watches get a refresh with over 30+ new models, and just a few months later were followed by similar “DressKX” variants that replaced the dive bezel with a more subdued polished bezel. Coming in at 39.4mm in diameter, the SRPH29 will be a mass-appealing crowd-pleaser, as watches under 40mm tend to fit the sweet spot of fitting well on nearly all wrist sizes.Elegant but sturdy feel and look, with a very clear dial. It was a present for my father and he says it runs fast by about 30 secs every couple of days which I don't know whether it's normal. Fast and efficient processing and delivery. Item arrived in excellent condition. The price was very competitive. I would use again. It features a satin finish more true to traditional pilot watches, and maybe most importantly, housed inside is a Hamilton Calibre H-50 movement with an extremely impressive 80-hour power reserve.
