About this timepiece
Charcoal, gold and a dash of retro charm define the Seiko 5 Sports SKX Mid-Size (ref. SRPL79), a proudly vintage-styled automatic that holds on to the 38mm diameter of the originals. A black unidirectional rotating bezel for elapsed timing frames the charcoal dial, and gold accents add warmth to a palette that looks back to the quartz diver's watches of the 1980s. Luminous hands and markers and a day/date calendar handle the essentials with ease.
Under the screw-down see-through case back, caliber 4R36 combines automatic and manual winding with 24 jewels, a 21,600 vibrations-per-hour beat and approximately 41 hours of power reserve. The slimmer stainless steel case, only 12.1mm thick, wears a Hardlex crystal and is rated for 100 meters of water resistance. On the wrist, a three-row sport bracelet balances durability and comfort, fastening with a three-fold push-button clasp with secure lock.

Timepiece History
Seiko's story began in 1881, when a 21-year-old entrepreneur, Kintaro Hattori, opened a shop selling and repairing watches and clocks in central Tokyo. The first watch to carry the Seiko name followed in 1924, and Seiko went on to introduce a long line of watchmaking firsts, including the Quartz Astron, the world's first quartz wristwatch, on December 25, 1969. In 2024, Seiko celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Seiko brand.
The SRPL79 belongs to Seiko 5 Sports, a collection rooted in the Seiko Sportsmatic 5 of 1963, Japan's first automatic day-date watch. Seiko 5 Sports itself was born in 1968, adding enhanced water resistance, a strengthened crystal and luminous hands and markers to the Seiko 5 essentials of an automatic movement, a day-date display, water resistance, a recessed crown and a durable case and bracelet, and it found worldwide favor as a go-anywhere watch. In 2019, Seiko 5 Sports was rebranded to carry watch culture forward to the next generation. Its design follows the SKX series, the successor to the watch widely known as the "SKX," a watch loved around the world.

Care Instructions
Daily Care
• Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfiber cloth after wear to remove oils, dust, and fingerprints.
Cleaning
• Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap for occasional cleaning.
• Dry the watch thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
What to Avoid
• Avoid bleach, chlorine, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and household cleaning products.
• Do not use polishing compounds unless specifically recommended by the watch manufacturer.
Stainless Steel and Titanium
• Light surface marks may develop over time with normal wear.
• Titanium can show cosmetic marks differently than stainless steel because of its lighter weight and surface characteristics.
Water Resistance
• Always follow the water resistance rating listed by the manufacturer for your specific watch.
• Water resistance is not permanent and can decrease over time as seals and gaskets age.
• Make sure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before water exposure.
• Do not operate the crown, pushers, or other controls while the watch is underwater unless the manufacturer specifically states that it is safe to do so.
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and very hot showers, as heat and rapid temperature changes can affect the watch seals.
• Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially after battery replacement, case opening, or service.
Storage
• Store your watch in a clean, dry place when not in use.
• Keep it separated from other jewelry or watches to help prevent scratches.
