- Does the SSK033 have a true GMT movement?
- Yes. The 4R34 is a caller-style GMT: the local hour hand jumps independently while the 24-hour hand tracks a second time zone.
- Can I swim with it?
- Yes. It is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and showering. It has no screw-down crown, so avoid diving.
- How does it compare with the standard Seiko 5 Sports?
- It adds a GMT hand and 24-hour scale but uses a fixed bezel instead of a rotating dive bezel. The case is also a little thicker.
- Is the crystal sapphire?
- No. It uses Seiko's Hardlex mineral crystal, which resists everyday knocks but scratches more easily than sapphire.
- What is the power reserve?
- About 41 hours when fully wound. If you leave it off for a weekend it will likely stop and need resetting.
- Does it come with a spare strap?
- No. It ships on the stainless steel bracelet only, though the 20 mm lugs take standard aftermarket straps.
- Where is the Seiko 5 Sports (SSK033) cheapest?
- At Designer Optics, for $495.00, as of our latest check.
