Introducing the Seiko SRPL33K1, from the SEIKO 5 Sports x HUF collection that pays homage to the Regatta Timer with a retro design adapted to urban culture.
The 1969 Seiko Regatta Timer is a testament to Seiko's ability to design highly functional tools with a focus on specific needs. Although it did not include a traditional chronograph, its focus on the regatta timer made it unique and valuable to sailors. Below are the main features that this model brings to the table, offering elegance and innovation.
The watch face was designed with clarity, prioritizing legibility. The markers and indicators were tailored to the needs of sailors, allowing for quick reading even under bright sunlight or in moving water conditions. The bezel is notable for its simplicity, being visually appealing and its unidirectional rotating functionality to mark the start times of the race. The 42.5mm case with transparent caseback allows the caliber 4R36 to be appreciated in action, offering a window to the heart of the watch.
The watch features a muted blue-grey and silver as the main colour tone and an inner bezel marked with the genuine green HUF logo colours and sky blue. The HUF logo is also incorporated into both the dial and the back of the watch.
With a distinctive design from the late 1960s, this model stood out not only for its functionality but also for its appearance. Its clean, purpose-focused appearance has made it a collector's item.
Stainless steel is one of the most widely used materials in watchmaking, thanks to its exceptional properties. This material combines strength, durability and aesthetics, making it the ideal choice for both classic and sports watches.
Hardlex crystal is a type of tempered mineral glass, specially developed to provide enhanced resistance to shocks and scratches. Although it does not reach the hardness of sapphire crystal, it offers excellent durability and increased strength compared to conventional mineral glass. This material is ideal for those looking for a combination of affordability and protection in their watch, as it effectively protects the watch face from the rigors of daily use, maintaining its clarity and appearance for a long time.
The hands and indexes of the watch are luminous and allow for clear reading in low light conditions.
Equipped with a caliber 4R36 automatic movement, this watch offers essential everyday functionality, including three hands for the hour, minute and second, along with a calendar to keep the wearer always up to date. This calendar is in Dual Language (Spanish/English). Its rotating bezel adds an extra layer of functionality, ideal for precise timekeeping.
The Seiko Nº5 is equipped with a visible calendar at the 3 o'clock position, making it easy to read the date. This functionality is especially useful for those who need to check the date efficiently.

Automatic watches, also known as automatic mechanical watches, are a fascinating piece of engineering that combines precision, elegance and tradition. Unlike battery-powered quartz watches, automatic watches do not require an external power source (battery) to operate.
1. The heart of the watch: The Caliber
The fundamental element of an automatic watch is its caliber, a complex mechanism made up of hundreds of tiny parts that work together in a synchronized manner. The heart of the caliber is the escapement, which regulates the release of energy from the mainspring to drive the watch's hands.
2. The power of automatic movement
The magic of automatic watches lies in converting movement into energy. A heavy rotor, or oscillating mass, rotates inside the watch thanks to the movement of the wearer's arm, transmitting this movement to the winding mechanism, which tensions the mainspring. The energy stored in the spring is gradually released, allowing the watch to run.
3. Accuracy and reliability
High-quality automatic watches are known for their precision and reliability. With proper care, an automatic watch can run for decades without requiring extensive maintenance.
4. A miniature work of art
Beyond their functionality, automatic watches are considered miniature works of art. The complexity of their mechanism, the quality of their materials and the beauty of their design make them coveted pieces by collectors and watch lovers.
5. A legacy of tradition
Automatic watches have a rich history dating back centuries. Its evolution has been marked by innovation and the constant search for perfection.
