Description
The Seiko 5 Sports Field GMT SSK023K1 combines rugged field-watch styling with the practical functionality of an automatic GMT movement. Featuring a black dial, a distinctive GMT hand and a brushed stainless steel bracelet, this versatile timepiece offers a balanced blend of everyday durability, mechanical watchmaking and understated style.
Designed for those who appreciate functional details and timeless proportions, the Seiko 5 Sports GMT is equally suited to daily wear, travel and smart-casual occasions.
Automatic GMT Movement and Dual Time Display
At the heart of the SSK023K1 is the Seiko Calibre 4R34 automatic movement. It supports manual winding and provides an approximate power reserve of 41 hours when fully wound.
The dedicated GMT hand and 24-hour display make it possible to track a second time zone alongside local time. This feature is particularly useful for frequent travellers and anyone who regularly communicates with people in different time zones.
The movement also includes a stop-seconds function, allowing the wearer to stop the seconds hand when setting the time. With 24 jewels and a mechanical design, the watch offers an engaging alternative to battery-powered quartz timepieces.
Field-Inspired Design with a Black Dial
The watch takes inspiration from traditional field watches, with a practical design focused on legibility and everyday versatility.
Its black dial provides a clear background for the time display, while the contrasting GMT hand helps distinguish the second time-zone indication. LumiBrite on the hands and hour markers improves visibility in low-light conditions.
A curved Hardlex crystal protects the dial, while the stainless steel case and multi-row bracelet give the watch a substantial yet versatile appearance. Measuring 39.4mm across, the case offers classic proportions that work well with casual clothing and more refined everyday outfits.
Stainless Steel Case and Everyday Durability
The SSK023K1 features a stainless steel case paired with a matching bracelet and a three-fold clasp with a secure lock. The see-through screw case back provides a view of the mechanical movement, adding another point of interest for watch enthusiasts.
With water resistance rated at 10 bar (100 metres), the watch is suitable for everyday exposure to water and swimming when used in accordance with Seiko’s guidance. It is not designed as a dedicated professional diving watch.
