Email address. The new Seiko 5 line has a respectable m water resistance rating. They do not offer a screw down crown. Back to the delineation of the product line I mentioned earlier. Each category represents a different thematic approach to the Singular Seiko 5 model. The Sports line will be quite familiar to longtime fans of the brand. A lot of those models have gone out of production or have been folded up into the slightly-more-upscale Prospex line, so this is a great way to reconnect with all the popular divers that can't be bought new anymore.

In fact, the watches have been signed several different ways — Seiko 5, Seiko 5 Sports, Seiko Sportsmatic 5, Seiko 5 Actus — and used a range of different automatic movements. When it was introduced in , the Seiko Sportsmatic 5 heralded multiple innovations. In any case, this third attribute was less a technological innovation and more an innovative design criteria for the Seiko 5 sub-brand.
There is some disagreement. The Diaflex mainspring 2. The Diashock system 3. Automatic winding 4. Water resistance. Automatic winding 2. Water resistance 4. Durable case and bracelet. Perhaps this is because the two movements, while significant, were not unique to the Seiko 5.
