SEIKO Superior Automatic – Black & Red Sport Dial – SRP017K1 – 22 Jewels – 100M – 2000s --- DESCRIPTION Distinctive Seiko Superior Automatic SRP017K1, a striking Japanese mechanical timepiece from the late 2000s, combining bold sporting aesthetics with Seiko's renowned watchmaking reliability. This attractive model features a deep black dial with oversized, three-dimensional Arabic numerals, polished applied hour markers and vivid red accents. The contrasting red 24-hour inner scale, finely detailed minute track and red-tipped seconds hand give the watch a dynamic, instrument-inspired appearance. The generously proportioned stainless steel case combines polished and brushed surfaces, sculpted lugs and a substantial polished bezel, creating an elegant yet unmistakably sporty profile. At its heart is the Seiko in-house calibre 4R16A, a robust 22-jewel automatic mechanical movement. The transparent exhibition caseback reveals the decorated oscillating rotor, signed Seiko Time Corp. The watch is complemented by its original black Seiko leather strap with crocodile-style embossing, contrasting stitching and a stainless steel buckle engraved with the Seiko signature. With a case diameter of 40.1 mm excluding the crown, this distinctive Seiko offers excellent wrist presence and a versatile combination of Japanese mechanical engineering and contemporary sporting design. --- TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS * Brand: Seiko * Collection: Superior Automatic * Model: Black & Red Sport Dial * Reference: SRP017K1 * Case reference: 4R16-00C0 * Period: 2000–2010 (late 2000s) * Movement: Seiko calibre 4R16A * Movement type: Automatic mechanical * Jewels: 22 * Case material: Stainless steel * Case diameter excluding crown: 40.1 mm * Case diameter including crown: 43.7 mm * Dial: Black with applied silver-tone numerals and red accents * Hour markers: Oversized luminous Arabic numerals and polished applied indices * Hands: Silver-tone luminous hands with red-tipped central seconds hand * Functions: Hours, minutes, central seconds, day and date * Calendar: Day-date window at 3 o'clock with bilingual day display * Additional scale: Red 13–24-hour inner dial markings * Crystal: Hardlex mineral crystal * Caseback: Transparent exhibition back * Water resistance: 10 BAR / 100 metres (manufacturer's original rating) * Strap: Original Seiko black embossed leather strap * Buckle: Original Seiko-signed stainless steel buckle * Gender: Men's / Unisex * Country of manufacture: Japanese brand --- CONDITION Very good condition.
