Product Information

Full details

The Seiko 5 Sports Field GMT SSK059K1 is designed for adventurers and travelers who need a reliable, durable watch with multi-time zone capability. Its key benefit is the blend of robust military-inspired design with the practical GMT function for tracking a second time zone. A potential caveat is the Hardlex crystal, which is less scratch-resistant than sapphire. This timepiece features an automatic GMT movement, a textured white dial, a 24-hour bezel, and 100m water resistance, all housed in a versatile 39.4mm stainless steel case.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What kind of movement does the SSK059K1 use?

It uses the Seiko Calibre 4R34, an automatic movement with 24 jewels and a 41-hour power reserve, featuring both day-date and GMT functions.

How do I set the GMT hand?

Pull the crown out to the first position. Push the crown IN and OUT repeatedly to advance the orange GMT hand to your desired second time zone, and align it with the 24-hour bezel.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

Yes, with its 100-meter water resistance and ensuring the crown is screwed down, it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, it is not designed for diving.

What is the case size and material?

The case is made of stainless steel and measures 39.4mm in width and 47.9mm in length, offering a versatile fit.

What is the difference between Hardlex crystal and sapphire crystal?

Hardlex is Seiko's proprietary hardened mineral crystal, offering better impact resistance than standard mineral glass but is more prone to scratching than sapphire crystal.

How long does the power reserve last?

The Calibre 4R34 movement has a power reserve of approximately 41 hours when fully wound.

Does the watch require a battery?

No, this is an automatic watch. It is powered by the motion of your wrist; no battery is required.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Manually wind the crown (turn clockwise with crown screwed down) 20-30 times or shake the watch gently for 30 seconds. If it still stops, it may require servicing.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Automatic watches can be affected by magnetism or need servicing. Ensure the watch is fully wound. If accuracy issues persist, consult a watchmaker for demagnetization or service.

Date not changing correctly

Ensure you are not trying to set the date between 9 PM and 1 AM, as this is when the date-changing mechanism is engaged. Set the time to before 9 PM, set the date, then set the correct time and GMT.

Crown is difficult to screw down

Ensure the threads are clean and aligned correctly. Do not force the crown. If it feels cross-threaded, unscrew it and try again slowly and carefully.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent value for an automatic GMT watch.
Robust and reliable field watch design.
Versatile 39.4mm case size suitable for most wrists.
Clear legibility with luminous markers and GMT hand.

Cons

Hardlex crystal is more prone to scratching than sapphire.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Winding the Movement: To start the watch, gently shake it back and forth for about 30 seconds, or manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise (with the crown screwed down) about 20-30 times. The watch will begin running.
Setting Time and Date: Unscrew the crown. Pull it out to the first position to set the day and date. Pull it out to the second position to set the hours and minutes. Screw the crown back down firmly to ensure water resistance.
Setting the GMT Hand: Pull the crown out to the first position. Push the crown IN and OUT repeatedly while the crown is in the first position to advance the orange GMT hand independently. Align the GMT hand with the desired second time zone on the 24-hour bezel.

Compatibility:

The watch uses a standard spring bar system for strap changes, making it compatible with most 20mm watch straps.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly.
Water Resistance: Always ensure the crown is screwed down tightly before exposing the watch to water. The 100m rating is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for deep diving.
Maintenance: Automatic watches benefit from a service every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Avoid strong magnetic fields, which can affect accuracy.
