SEIKO 5 SRP481 Automatic Watch

Overview

The Seiko SRP481 "Mini Ice Monster" is a 42mm men's automatic watch with a stainless steel case and a white analog dial protected by hardlex crystal. It uses a 4R36 caliber self-winding mechanical movement that can be manually wound and hacked (the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out). It ticks 6 times per second which gives the second hand a smoother movement than quartz watches which tick once per second. The watch should run for up to 41 hours when fully wound and will self-wind when moved.

The SRP481 is currently ranked #42 in popularity out of 2,613 watches in this catalog and is on sale for $499.00 on Amazon.com .

SRP481 is only a partial model number.

The full model number will have a J1, K1, P1, J2, K2 or P2 at the end. There may be multiple versions available and they may have different prices. If there is a SRP481J1 it is made in Japan, has "Made in Japan" written on the dial and is more likely to have Arabic as the second language on the day dial. If there is a SRP481K1 or SRP481P1 it is made elsewhere in Asia, does not say "Made in Japan" on the dial and is more likely to have Spanish as the second language for the day. If multiple versions exist they are assembled by identical machines using the same components under the same quality controls and should therefore be of equivalent quality. The SRP481J2, SRP481K2 and SRP481P2 models, if they exist, would have a different band style or material.

The case of the SRP481 measures approximately 42mm wide (not including the crown) by 12mm thick and is water resistant to 100 meters. This should be sufficient for splashes, rain, baths, showers & swimming (shallow diving) but is not recommended for scuba diving. The crown does not screw down which increases the risk that it could be pulled out accidentally while under water. The stainless steel bezel shows minute numbering and can be rotated. The gap between the lugs is 22mm and the bracelet band can be adjusted to fit using a link removal tool or removed using a band removal tool to be replaced with another band.

Transform the look of this watch by adding a 22mm leather band such as a Hadley Roma, Hirsch or Crown & Buckle.
