Prospex Samuraï SRPL11K1 Watch

The Watch

Seiko is one of the most iconic watchmakers in the world. A byword for innovation and quality, the brand was founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori in Japan - and forever changed the industry with the revolutionary quartz watch in the 1960s. Every timepiece balances durability, precision, and elegance to suit every taste and lifestyle. This stunning SRPL11K1 watch from the Prospex collection is a masterclass in refinement, designed to elevate men's wrists. Its round stainless steel case measures 41.70 mm in diameter, 12.25 mm thick, and weighs 170 g, finished in a brushed/polished combination. The bezel features a red insert - counterclockwise unidirectional - with a minute scale and a luminescent insert at 12 o'clock. A Hardlex crystal shields the dial from everyday shocks. The screw-down protected crown at 3 o'clock makes adjustments effortless at any time. Finally, a screw-down case back ensures water resistance to 200 meters.

The Dial

The dial on this watch blends function with flair. Its matte red finish radiates refinement and will make a bold statement on your wrist. The rehaut frames it with a striking design that highlights the vivid base. Below, a traditional minute track runs along the perimeter, marked by white lines for precise reading. Bold geometric hour markers in relief complete the layout, paired with two large hour and minute hands. A sweep seconds hand with an arrow tip adds to the precision. The hands and markers are coated with Lumibrite for easy reading in low light. A discreet date window sits between 4 and 5 o'clock, displaying the current date. The brand's name is signed at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This timepiece runs on a high-quality automatic movement crafted in Japan - specifically the in-house Caliber 4R35 manufactured by Seiko. Featuring 23 jewels and a hacking seconds function, it beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour with an accuracy of +45/-35 seconds per day. Reliable and efficient, it drives both the hands and the date window. Power reserve: 41 hours.

The Bracelet

The timeless, chic design of this watch is completed by a refined stainless steel bracelet that elegantly frames your wrist. Made up of three rows of brushed and polished links, it delivers a captivating look day and night. Easy to adjust, it adds a touch of elegance to any outfit. The lug width measures 20 mm. Secured by a push-button deployment clasp with a safety lock, it offers effortless wear with peace of mind. A diver extension is also included for added versatility.

Water Resistance

This watch offers water resistance to 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters - built for serious aquatic adventures. Designed for freediving, it handles shower, bath, lap swimming, and shallow-water dives without breaking a sweat. Just skip the pressure washer, and for scuba diving with tanks, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. One more thing: never operate the crown or pushers while submerged, to keep the movement protected.
