My biggest gripe with the new domed crystal is that, while it may add some visual interest and distortion when viewing the watch at different angles, it can cause a bit of extra glare in certain lighting conditions; making the watch more difficult to read. While a flat crystal may not be as interesting when viewed from different angles, it helps to maintain the overall theme of the simple legibility of a pilot watch. Seiko SRPH29 Movement – 4R36 The Seiko 5 SNK809 is one of the first mechanical watches I’ve owned and have loved it since day one. To this day, the combination of its sandblasted case and smaller sizing that disappears on the wrist really made it feel unlike any other watch I’ve owned. The recently released Seiko 5 Sports field watches (Seiko 5 SRPGXX) feature an obviously slightly distinct design from the SRPH’s pilot watches.

Leather strap watches tend to fit without a problem for most wearers. However, watches fitted with metal bracelets often need adjusting to get the perfect fit. The SRPH29 is a pilot watch that has a very particular and distinct look to it. There are a few types of watch straps that I think would pair exceptionally well with this type of watch.The strong case of this Seiko 5 Sports timepiece comes crafted from stainless steel, whilst Hardlex crystal protects the dial. With a diameter of 39.4mm, there is a restrained look to this case thanks to a simple bezel, curved lugs and a proportional crown at three.

It also may be more appealing to someone who prefers smaller watches, with its 37mm diameter, and its unique features such as its sandblasted case, and painted white hands make it stand out from the crowd just a bit. The brushed finish runs uniformly throughout the entirety of the case, including the bezel, and even throughout the sides. Understanding that the SRPH29 is a pilot watch, and therefore a tool watch in nature, is key to understanding this type of finish. A pilot wouldn’t want a polished watch that creates all sorts of glares and potentially blinding reflections while piloting an aircraft. But let’s be honest, how many of us are actually going to use a pilot watch for its intended purpose?

First off, I’m a bit disappointed that the SRPH29 is no longer finished with a satin/sandblasted finish as the SNK lineup is. In my opinion, that was one of the greatest and most unique things about the watch. By taking that away, the SRPH29 looks like so many other watches on the market, even down to the simplest Timex (Timex Expedition).

I bought a watch as a gift for my son and Kiran was really helpful in taking links out of the strap so it was the right size and including a gift tag written out with my message to my son. First class service. We also now see the addition of the new Seiko 5 Sports logo, and the polarizing “Automatic” text, written in script at 6:00. Some feel that the font is a bit too dressy for such a rugged-looking field watch, but that’s up to personal preference.
