FAQ

What movement is in the Seiko SRPE03?

The SRPE03 runs on the Seiko caliber 4R36 automatic with hand-winding, hacking seconds, day/date display and about 41 hours of power reserve.

Is the Seiko SRPE03 water resistant?

Yes. It carries a 200-meter diver's rating, so it handles swimming, snorkeling and recreational scuba. Keep the screw-down crown fully closed in the water.

Why do collectors call this Seiko a “Turtle”?

The nickname comes from the rounded cushion case first used on Seiko's 1976 divers, which looks like a turtle shell from the side. It is a collector nickname; Seiko lists these models as Prospex Automatic Divers.

Is the Seiko SRPE03 still available?

It is sold out at Chicago Clock right now. Call a showroom to check incoming stock. In-stock alternatives in the same family: SRPE05, SRPK01.
