The Case:
The Seiko 5 Sports GMT SSK005K1 is presented in a 42.5mm brushed stainless steel case. It features a black unidirectional rotating bezel that exhibits a gilt 24-hour display that can be used to set the time for another time zone. The bezel is made out of aluminium. The coined walls of the bezel ensure that it is easily operable. A pushdown crown is located at 4 o’clock, it is flanked by a crown guard which ensures that it is not knocked out of place. Hardlex crystal also provides the front and the back of the case with protection against scratches and shattering. The exhibition caseback provides the wearer with an insight into the inner mechanisms of the watch.

The Dial:
The dial is presented in orange with a sunburst effect, it features a gilt framed handset and black hour markers that are filled with Lumibrite material, ensuring that the dial can be read in the dark. A date display window replaces the 3 o’clock marker, it is magnified by a cyclops lens. A 24-hour track is printed on the rehaut. The GMT hand is presented in a black, which ensures that the time in two time zones can be easily distinguished from one another.
