Seiko 5 Sports GMT WatchNation Exclusive ‘Mikan Orange’ SSK005K1 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. The Seiko 5 Sports logo is presented in silver beneath the 12 o’clock logo.
The Bracelet:This timepiece is presented on a solid stainless steel jubilee bracelet that showcases both brushed and polished finishes. It fastens through the use of a fold over push deployment clasp. It also features a diver’s extension.
The Functions:The SSK005K1 is powered by Seiko’s recently updated manual wind automatic movement, the calibre 4R34 movement. It has a power reserve of 41 hours and is water resistant to 100 metres, meaning that it can be worn when snorkelling.

sorted byVery comfortable jubilee bracelet,no issue with the hardlex(never really managed to scratch hardlex but a lot of people seem to hate it),love the hacking and hand-winding,swam in the sea several times with the non screw down crown and had no issues,gains approx 10 secs a week. In summary, love it as much as my skx.Paid just over £300 and would say £250-300 feels right for it.
Always look for reviews where people own and wear the watch on a daily basis before you reach a decision.Too many watch folk rattle off specs they deem inferior,compare back to chinese specials, microbrands etc and they have never even tried on the watch far less owned it.
I don't particularly trust jomw reviews considering he doesn't pay for the watches. Ok, there was a bit of a niggle, but he downplays these and it seems disingenuous to me to expect a truly unbiased review for something you got for free. Would he be saying the same after forking out £325 of his own money?? Sceptical.
An entry level Seiko for £325 with the below average specs mentioned above is not a good deal. Compare what you can expect from microbrands for less money and it becomes clear you're paying for the brand name more than anything else. If they sold these at a more realistic £150 I'd grab one. Otherwise, a hard pass. (edited)
I bought a Seiko 5 Sport in orange a year or so ago for about £150, which looks extremely similar to this. Why would I or anyone else want to spend circa £175 more on a 'GMT'?
A quick Google search suggests that the bezel rotates to GMT, but surely that still relies on the auto movement being worn or wound. Seems to also be more relevant to those that travel a lot.
I'm actually looking for a GMT and almost pulled the trigger here on this one. Any alternatives you guys know around this price range that are worth the money? (more than this one) (edited)
Don't get me wrong I really like my 5 Sports pepsi but this is almost 3x what I paid new! (edited)
