Seiko Automatic Watch for Men - 5 Sports - Day/Date Calendar, LumiBrite Hands and Markers, Rotating Bezel, Water Resistant to 100 Meters, orange/silver - SRPD59, Automatic movement

I always wanted an orange watch to wear on the days I don't have to dress up. Now, the COVID pandemic makes everyday such an occasion as we work from home most of the time. I checked online. First, I saw an orange Omega, which costs a fortune. Then, I checked Seiko Orange Monster, but it is also expensive since it has been discontinued in production (besides, I am not that crazed about the metal bezel of the Orange Monster). Finally, I found this new Seiko 5, which is an orange version of the famous Seiko SKX with black bezel and sunburst dial. I pulled the trigger right away. Compared to SKX, this new Seiko 5 has a number of improvements (hackable, hand-winding, etc.). And also, it has lug drills that make change of strap so easy. I already played with three straps: Nato, jubilee and the original oyster bracelet. Nato is the coolest looking one, but least comfortable. Jubilee is the most comfortable (resembling the old SKX), but looks a little dressy. The original bracelet is good, too, and seems to sit in between Nato and Jubilee. I really like this orange sunburst dial. It brightens up my day when I feel overwhelmed by work.

Nice sunburst Seiko watch

El reloj es increíble , es mi primer Seiko y mi primer reloj automático y vaya que no puedo estar más satisfecho, los acabados son muy buenos , el material muy premium. Estuve algo indeciso al inicio entre el orient kamasu, citizen fugu o este Seiko SRDP59 de la línea Seiko 5. Las fotos no le hacen justicia, este Seiko es increíble.

Genuine and well rounded watch which wears well on the wrist. Looks a treat in the dial style and vibrant colour. Just can't go past the 5 series for quality and wearability.

Beautiful orange dial, great sunburst effect, crisp lumed hands and embassy's. I removed the bracelet and replaced it with a black silicone and stitched orange threading. I gotta say looks much better than that stainless steel strap it came with. This is my first intro into the mechanical watch hobby, and I love this Seiko 5 sports watch with the Orange dial. Such a beautiful design!
