Seiko Analogical SRPD71K1

Product Information

Yep. SKX007/SKX009 dials, hands, and chapter rings are all compatible with these new Seiko 5 Sports watches as well.

That said, the SRPD77K1 isn’t right for everybody. It’s not a conventional piece. It’s exciting and has lots of character. The SRPD71K1 has a striking sunburst blue dial which, thanks to its finish reflects the light beautifully and changes appearance depending on how the light hits it.Plus a few special editions like the Street fighter, Naruto and Boruto, Brian May edition, the 140th Anniversary edition, the SRPG47K1, the EVISEN Skateboards edition, and the Guccimaze limited edition. The 5KX, as the fans call, may be a new chapter in Seiko’s rich history. If we look at it as a separate watch, not as the SKX’s heir, I am sure it has a glorious journey ahead. The Seiko 5 Sports Further differences from the SKX include the use of normal spring bars instead of fat bars, as well as drilled lug holes for easier strap changes. Are these new Seiko 5 Sports/SRPD models going to be compatible with SKX007/SKX009 modification parts?

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. When purchasing a watch which has a metal bracelet with adjustable links, we will gladly adjust the watch bracelet to fit your wrist before sending the watch to you - free of charge! Much to the disappointment of many SKX fans, the new Seiko 5 Sports do not have a screw down crown. As such, it won't be compatible with the range of SKX007 aftermarket crowns. ❌ Fat SpringbarsAs mentioned, the dial layout is essentially the same as the SKX, which means it will feel very familiar if you have previously worn the SKX, or simply enjoy the SKX design. It was the origin of the huge company we call the Seiko Group. They made the first quartz movement, one of the first mechanical chronographs and first quartz chronograph. Moreover, they also created many iconic watches like the SKX diver. Today, we're going to be focusing on a question that many of us in the Seiko modding community have been pondering ever since these watches were announced.

But looking at the collection as a whole, the SRPD77K1 isn’t the most traditional or most flamboyant watch. In my opinion, it’s the perfect middle-of-the-road Seiko 5 Sports watch. The Seiko 5 collection, in particular, is a popular lineup of watches from Seiko which is appreciated all around the world for the exceptional value they offer thanks to its finish and build quality, in relation to its price. We managed to get our hands on one of these watches before the public release, and here's what we found out.The SRPD77 carries on the SKX’s legacy in a new way, so it’s almost impossible to analyze the new Seiko 5 Sports line without discussing the SKX. The top of the case has a brushed finish, and the sides of the case are polished for contrast. This really enhances the impression of the quality and finish of this timepiece. Sitting on top of the case, it uses, not unsurprisingly, Seiko’s proprietary Hardlex crystal.
