Seiko 5 Sports SRPD65 Evaluation: All Black PVD Case

The recently introduced Seiko 5 Sports collection brought with it unmatched selection when it comes to case materials, dial textures, strap types, bezel styles, and more.

With this SRPD65, we get a taste of Seiko’s lustrous black “hard-coating” (looks like PVD to me) not only on the case and bezel but throughout the entire bracelet and clasp as well.

In this review, and via the below categories, I’ll be taking a closer look at all the details that make this SRPD65 a worthy acquisition:
