Seiko SRPG41 5 Sports Watch[/pullquote]

The Seiko 5 Sports watch is a legend in the watch world. Japan’s great watchmaker is known for building sturdy and dependable mechanical movements, and that’s the heart of the classic Seiko 5. Add in a huge range of colorways and a field-ready look, and you’ve got a workhorse everyday wear watch for the everyman.

Which is why the Seiko 5 Sports SRPG41 is such a big deal. This new design is an update to the SNK line, which for years has been the standard-bearer for Seiko 5 Sports watches. The new SRPG41 has all of the pedigree of the classic, with a handful of modern updates that make it even more exciting than the old guard. So if you’re looking for a new do-it-all mechanical watch at an incredible price, the SRPG41 should be on your radar.

The Workhorse Movement Lives On.

Seiko’s movements are renowned worldwide for their consistent accuracy and ability to take a licking and keep on ticking. The SRPG41 is no different — and why should it be? It uses the same excellent 4R36 movement as other watches in the Seiko 5 line, with a 41-hour power reserve, hand-winding and hacking.

New Style Touches Are Just Right.

The Seiko 5 is built to be a tool, and this looks the part: It’s sleek, sharp and lowkey stylish. Nothing flashy, but plenty to admire — like the black ion case finish, black vintage-inspired dial and orange-tipped seconds hand, which we think are a logical and handsome next step in the design language of the brand.

Beater-Watch Toughness.

Lumed hands and markers so you can tell the time in low light; a screw-down caseback; 100 meters of water resistance. These are the makings of a watch that you don’t have to baby. Take it on any adventure, day after day and it’ll keep on telling time. That’s just what Seikos are designed to do.

Price: $315
