Seiko automatic blue dial9/7/2023 ![]() ![]() You can get a great sense of the dial’s texture in the image below.Īlso present on the SRPE77’s dial are applied hour indices, surrounding minute markings in blue, a day-date window at 3 o’clock, and a very generous amount of lume. Indeed, both the bright dial tone and intricate texture make this a very unique watch, even among its peers. Not only does the dial have a beautiful brushed sunray finish, but it also appears to have a woven texture that, once more, I’ve yet to encounter on any other Seiko 5 Sports watch. Lastly, the silver bezel calibrations coupled with the blue backdrop offer great contrast and impart great legibility.Ĭontinuing with this review, we get to what is in my opinion the most remarkable aspect of this Seiko SRPE77, the ice blue dial. This is quite different from any other Seiko dive watches we’ve reviewed, all of which had metal bezel inserts. Up close, this gives the bezel the appearance of having depth and makes for an attractive look. It’s difficult to tell in images, but the diver’s scale insert on the bezel is a transparent material that has a blue backdrop. Naturally, it’s also made of steel and possesses a “knurled” texture on its outer flank that helps with grip. Bezel Detailsīeing a diver’s watch, this Seiko 5 Sports SRPE77 is outfitted with a unidirectional diver’s bezel. It’s also worth noting that, since the crown doesn’t screw down into the case, the depth rating on the case is 100m as opposed to the 200m rating encountered on other Seiko divers. That being said, I’m not sure why you’d want to change out this awesome steel band (more on the band later). Indeed, a simple paperclip will be enough to remove the current steel bracelet and implant a different strap. The lugs possess lug holes which make it incredibly easy to change the strap on this SRPE77. The crown and crown guards at 4 o’clock, as can be seen in the picture below, also feature a polished finish. The case is constructed entirely of steel and is marked by an attractive brushed finish on its top side and high-polish case flanks. ![]() Nevertheless, it’s still worthwhile to list them: The dimensions of the Seiko 5 Sports case are well documented particularly because they drew so much inspiration from its beloved predecessor, the SKX. ![]()
