00:00 Introduction
Intro to the Seiko SRPD65K1, a black PVD Seiko 5 Sports watch on a matching bracelet.
00:38 First Look
The SRPD65, a black PVD (or black hard coating, as Seiko calls it) watch, looks great on the wirst. When comparing to other Seiko "stealth" or "blackout" watches, it's clear that the black hard coating here is glossy as opposed to the matte finish encountered on other black Seiko 5 Sports srtyles.
01:02 Case Details & Dimensions
The case of the SRPD65K1 boasts a polished finish on its flanks and a brushed texture on the top surface of the case.
The case dimensions are as follows:
- Case size: 42.5mm
- Case thickness: 13.4mm
- Lug-to-lug: 46mm
- Strap size: 22mm (between the lugs)
03:08 Unidirectional Diver's Bezel
The bezel matches the case in its finish and has a black insert with metallic silver markings. It does not have a luminous pip as is common in some Seiko divers. Nevertheless, the bezel offers great contrast and legibility
03:30 Black PVD Bracelet
The SRPD65K1 has a full steel bracelet with the same black hard coating. Like the case, it also has a brushed finish on the top and glossy sides. The links taper down in size from the case to the clasp which is a folding clasp with a dual-button release.
Overall the bracelet is quite comfortable to wear. The durability of its coating is yet to be seen.
04:51 Watch Face & Dial
The SRPD65 has a jet black dial with applied hour indices that have a polished finish that offers an attractive contrast with their background. Additionally, the hour indices have a lot of lume that is Seiko's green LumiBrite. The center hour and minute hands possess the same composition as the indices.
The day-date aperture seen at 3 o'clock has black font on a white background. In this model, the two languages for the day are English and Spanish. Saturday and Sunday are in blue and red font, respectively.
The date is a black font on a white background that contrasts nicely. This SBSA028, being a Made in Japan model, has two languages for the day: English and Japanese/Kanji. Additionally, Saturdays are in blue and Sundays in red.
06:39 Demonstration Of How To Set The Day, Date, & Time
Since this watch has a non-screw down crown, the movement can be wound when the crown is at position 0. However, this also entails that the water resistance tops out at 100m vs. the common 200m encountered in other Seiko dive watches.
08:33 SRPD65 4R36 Movement
Through the crystal caseback we can see the self-winding (automatic) Seiko 4R36 movement powering this watch. The caliber boasts 41-hour power reserve, a hacking seconds (Stop seconds) function, +45/-35 secs/day accuracy, and the hand-winding functionality mentioned earlier.
