Our take on the Seiko 5 Sports Suit SBSA017 Men's Mechanical Automatic Watch with Black Mesh Strap

The Seiko 5 Sports Suit SBSA017 is a mechanical automatic watch with a 4R36 movement, a 41-hour power reserve and a day-date calendar. Its dressier take on the Seiko 5 formula pairs a 42.5mm stainless steel case with a steel mesh bracelet and a unidirectional rotating bezel. It suits people who want a Japanese-made automatic they can wear to the office and on weekends, and it trades the usual dive-style rubber or leather strap for a mesh band that reads more formal. Against other Seiko 5 Sports models it offers the same movement and 10 ATM water resistance in a slimmer, more tailored package.
