This Seiko watch is my second with the Kinetic system. It is a Kinetic quartz movement, the Seiko 5M82 movement without battery having an integrated electricity system, the Kinetic technology draws its energy from the movement of the arm, the crown, located at three o'clock, allows you to set the time and the push button located at 2 o'clock helps to check the power reserve. An example on mine just now I pressed the push button and it scrolled for 20 seconds which tells me that I have autonomy for a month. I really like this Seiko watch because the system is really original and ingenious, plus this watch has a really superb blue dial and it has a nice presence on the wrist, it comes with a steel bracelet but I alternate with a tropical bracelet, I really like Japanese watches and I wear it quite often the dial glass is in Hardlex (reinforced mineral) its diameter is 42.5mm and it is water resistant to 100m, it is not a watch of diving there is no crown aimed.

I present to you my new Citizen Promaster Divers 200m Eco-Drive a system developed by Citizen the battery can operate for at least 20 years, the Echo-Drive system generates energy even in low light, it generates energy not only from sunlight, but also from indoor light. A full charge is enough to operate most Eco-Drive models in the dark for more than six months...I absolutely wanted a diving watch with this system because it is truly a real innovation from the Japanese manufacturer...even if it is a quartz watch, no need to worry about replacing the battery every 2 to 3 years...I love this red color and the inner outline of the dial in white, it is very comfortable to wear and despite its 43mm diameter it does not look big on my wrist...and the wave bracelet is very flexible and pleasant, thanks to the Dialicious platform and the link I came across the best price offered and I made the purchase on Amazon, I am a Prime subscriber and the delivery was fast and without any problem at a relay point.

The Seiko brand, founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori in the Ginza district of Tokyo, has become one of the most influential and respected watch companies in the world. Since the opening of its first store, Seiko has continued a path of constant growth and innovation.
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Seiko brand</h2>
The year 1924 marked the first watch produced under the Seiko brand. The company continued to develop new technologies, and in 1956 it released the first self-winding wristwatch made in Japan. The real game-changer came in 1969 with the introduction of the Seiko Astron, the world's first quartz watch. This innovation not only changed the direction of Seiko but also revolutionized the entire watch industry.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Seiko solidified its reputation as a technological leader with the development of solar-powered watches and the introduction of professional divers' watches. In 2005, Seiko presented the Spring Drive, a unique movement combining the strength of mechanical watchmaking and the precision of quartz.
In recent years, Seiko has continued to innovate by creating eco-friendly watches and supporting various environmental initiatives. The brand is known for its commitment to quality, precision and sophisticated design.

I present to you my Seiko 5 SKX Suits Style with a pretty green dial, which changes depending on the weather, this watch has already been on the channel in a Street Watch episode, I find it super cool and I wear it often, the Seiko 5 are the heirs of the legendary SKX 007 that I also own... but they are not intended for diving, they have 10 ATM and above all they do not have a screw-down crown, but the choice is vast because Seiko has developed a multitude of Seiko 5 models which are super cool, its diameter is 42.5mm and the dial glass is in Hardlex and it comes with a Seiko Milanese mesh bracelet.

Ma Seiko 5 SKX Suits Style 

This Seiko 5 is a true "field watch", with a step dial, a brushed case and perfect readability. With a diameter of 40mm and equipped with the 7S36 caliber (set incredibly precisely on my copy: less than a second of drift per day), it is a perfect watch to use in all weathers, including underwater. This was my first automatic assembly, bought new in 2019 for around 100e, it gives a lot for the price. It has now left the catalog and has been replaced by a model that is more than similar but at a price that has more than doubled (new Seiko pricing policy requires). This watch is a very nice entry in the Seiko range and has a very high quality of finish. A tough one! The only downside is the rather wide nylon strap which does not have an exemplary finish, the perfect opportunity to have fun by equipping it with your most beautiful Nato.

Seiko 5 Sports SNZG15K1

I was instantly seduced by this reissue.
Its look, its robust manufacture movement (which has long proven itself), its small size and its agreed price immediately filled me.
I have always considered watches as jewels, which must combine utility, comfort and pleasure for the eyes. This watch meets all these elements through its attributes.
A small 39.5 case which despite its thickness, knows how to be discreet. Very efficient & intuitive visibility. A delightful, unconventional and comfortable metal bracelet. A 100m water resistance which allows you to always have it on your wrist. It exudes solidity and longevity that we are not afraid to wear daily. The only downside is its mineral glass which I know will quickly suffer my clumsiness.
I prefer so-called vintage watch models, but I can't acquire a watch that has already been worn. For reasons of trust.
This SRPK17 meets all my expectations.

A look from another time brought up to date.

Hello everyone,
I love my Seiko 5 sports, it's my field watch at the same time dressed that is very urban and versatile, super comfortable with the Milanese mesh bracelet.
I would have liked it to have the screw-down crown.
In any case one of the watches I wear the most at work, as for barbecue evenings.

La marque&nbsp;Serica a &eacute;t&eacute; cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2019 par J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget et 3 amis &agrave; Paris, en France.

The brand Serica was created in 2019 by J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget and 3 friends in Paris, France. The name Serica comes from a lost region at the end of the Far East that the Greeks and Romans named it like this. This place echoes the genesis of the brand, which aims to design quality mechanical watches in a neo-retro style, ready to follow you to the ends of the world.
The range includes watches such as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/4512">Serica 4512</a>, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/5303">Serica 5303</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/8315">Serica 8315</a>. One of the particularities of this brand is that its name does not appear anywhere on the dial, in order to encourage the enthusiast to buy a design, finishes and proportions, and not just a name. In July 2023, Serica launched the Serica 5303 COSC, a chronometer version certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">Serica 6190</a> surfing on the bases of the brand's first reference, the Serica 4512. This 6190 follows the stylistic codes of the brand, lyre lugs, a choice of different dials and the possibility of choosing the position of the crown at 3 o'clock or at &ldquo;Destro&rdquo; mode at 9 o&rsquo;clock. This Serica 6190 is powered with the Soprod M100 caliber COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Certification) certified, like the current productions of the other 5303 and 8315 models.&nbsp;
Since November 21, 2024, Serica has been offering a very daring new collection... A dress watch off the beaten track called &ldquo;Parade&rdquo; under the reference 1174. These 4 figures, like all other Serica references, offer a symbolism derived from the golden number or divine proportions whose ratio between length and width is 1.174... A novelty offered for pre-order at &euro; 1,490 for one delivery planned for March 2025...
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Serica watch cost?</h2>
The prices of Serica watches change and differ depending on the model. Most cost between &euro; 990 and &euro; 1,890 depending on the models and finishes. The brand's GMT model, Serica 8315 GMT Chronometer costs &euro; 1,890 while the latest model launched by Serica, the reference&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">6190</a> is offered to &euro; 990.

<h3 dir="ltr">Origins and History</h3>
Originally launched in the 1960s, the Seiko 5 series takes its name from five fundamental characteristics that each model had to possess:
Automatic movement : a mechanical caliber that winds thanks to the movements of the wrist. Day and date display : presented jointly in a one-stop shop.Waterproofing : ensuring water resistance suitable for daily activities. Recessed crown at 4 o'clock : offering increased protection and a distinctive design. Durable case and strap : designed to withstand the rigors of daily use.

The dial, protected by scratch-resistant Hardlex glass, is available in several colors, from classic black to vibrant blue. The indexes and hands are coated with LumiBrite, Seiko's own luminescent, guaranteeing optimal readability even in low light conditions. The day/date window is positioned at 3 o'clock, providing practical functionality for everyday use.
Under the dial, the Seiko 5 Sports is powered by the caliber 4R36, a robust and reliable automatic movement. This caliber offers a power reserve of approximately 41 hours and has the manual winding function as well as the stop-seconds, allowing precise synchronization. The transparent case back allows you to admire the movement in action, adding an appreciable dimension for watch enthusiasts.
