The bi-colour 24-hour bezel is coated in Hardlex, to ensure durability while the GMT hand improves practicality, visibility and legibility. The Seiko 5 Sports Style GMT SSK001K1, SSK003K1 and SSK005K1 are worn on a brushed and polished five-link Jubilee-style bracelet with a folding clasp and secure lock. The new models are equipped with the second time zone (GMT) feature, which is perhaps one of the most usable complications of traditional watchmaking. Equipped with automatic technology that you control with every movement, this versatile watch is powered by a 24-jewel movement that beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of approximately 41 hours and manual winding capability. The 90s collection offered improved practicality enhanced water resistance, strengthened crystals along with luminous hands and hour markers.

The case, which is highly appreciated by watch lovers with its design that we remember from the SKX series, another legendary product group of the brand, is waterproof up to 100 meters. And when I had the SSK001K1, SSK003K1 and SSK005K1 in my hands, it immediately made me think: could this be the best summer watch you can get now?Similar to the Suits Style, the fashion aspect of this sports collection is also reflected in the SKX Street Style.

Bright colours are much more accepted, and casual attire is the way to go; I want a watch that reflects this, with a hint of colour, a relaxed look, and a slight sporty style. The versions based on the current Seiko 5 Sports platform, added to the Seiko catalogs in 2019, also draw attention with their revised components per modern times. This mindset has led to various creations and has broadened the world of watchmaking with Asian ingenuity. First released in the 90s, the SKX Seiko 5 Sports watches were a modernised version of the classics – updating the reliability and durability of the 1960s originals.If you require an extra large bracelet or you are in need of additional links these may be supplied at an additional cost. This hand, done in black or red, indicates the second time zone, making this a first-ever GMT watch in the Seiko 5 Sports lineage. Next to the well-known set of hands indicating central hours, minutes and seconds, a fourth hand can be identified. And not only do I recommend this watch to newcomers (men and women) but also to far more experienced watch enthusiasts.

And since summer is the perfect time for travelling (and yes, we can do it again now that the pandemic seems to be almost under control), I’m very much interested in a watch that can indicate a second time zone, so I can keep track of the time at home. The bezel insert, on the other hand, moves the 5 Sports GMT past standard Seiko 5 territory with a striking new visual flavor.The in-house 4R34 automatic GMT movement inside the Seiko 5 Sports GMT SSK005K1 is the newest variant in the 4R family but maintains essentially the same architecture as the familiar three-hand 4R36. Rather than the familiar aluminum dive bezel insert, the 5 Sports GMT SSK005K1 uses a 24-hour insert topped with a transparent ring of Hardlex mineral glass crystal.

The fine-grain sunburst dial surface is rendered in a blazing, almost traffic-cone orange, immediately standing out on the wrist and tying this model in with a long legacy of orange dial divers and sports watches. wide stainless steel case wears far smaller than the numbers would have you believe, with a wearing experience that feels far closer to 40mm than over 42mm. The watches inside the 5 Sports collection feature a triangular index marker on the 12 o’clock marker. Our simple to use watch sizing guide allows you to measure the size of your wrist from the comfort of your own home.

Like the 4R36, the 4R34’s finishing is basic and straightforward, with heavily grained brushed bridges accented by broad perlage on the mainplate.
