The Casio STP

Water resistant to 10 bar, 100 meters, or 330 feet.The Seiko Velatura line is designed to be a marine and yachting collection. While two Velaturas have yachting timers (the SPC005 and the SPC007), the affiliation of the SRH005 to the world of yachting is a bit more indirect. The movement can be wound without pulling out the crown which keeps the internals of the watch safe from moisture. Additionally, the bezel screws, crown guards, caseback, and the elegant design of the dial are all reminiscent of yachting instruments.So far, I have found that people are either drawn to the unique bracelet design of the SRH005, or they don't care for it. Very bright LumiBrite paint on the hour hand, minute hand, and on the hour indices. Recessed reset button in case the integrated circuit ever needs a quick reboot. Automatic hand alignment which ensures that the power indicator hand is always accurate (calibration occurs every 24 hours). Personally, I love it. I love distinguishing and unique watches, and the black urethane that covers the center links of the bracelet really make it stand out. Maybe it's the suggestion of a checkered pattern or a racing stripe, but it also somehow conveys the sense of speed to me.The Seiko Velatura SRH005 is a big, elegant, and satisfying watch. If all you're looking for is something to tell time, the Velatura is obviously overkill.
