Seiko expands its famous 5 Sports line with two exciting military-style travel watches. The new models carry the reference codes HDB001 and HDB002.
Both timepieces belong to the rugged Field series. They combine classic military aesthetics with a highly practical dual-time function.
These modern iterations provide exceptional reliability and great value for contemporary explorers. They offer a bidirectional 24-hour bezel for easy time tracking.
Specification
Both models share identical physical dimensions and case specifications. The stainless steel case measures exactly 39.4mm in diameter.
It features a thickness of 13.6mm. The tip-to-tip lug length spans 47.9mm. This compact footprint ensures a highly comfortable fit on most wrists.
A curved Hardlex crystal protects the textured dials from scratches.
A durable stainless steel bracelet secures the watch to the wearer’s wrist. The bracelet features a convenient 3-fold clasp mechanism.
This clasp utilizes a secure lock and a push-button release system. It prevents the watch from accidentally falling off during intense activities.
These timepieces offer robust protective characteristics for everyday life and adventures. They feature a water resistance rating of 100 meters.
This rating allows users to wear the watch during swimming activities safely.
The brand applies its proprietary LumiBrite compound to the hands and indexes. This glowing material guarantees excellent visibility in total darkness.
Seiko 5 Sports Field GMT HDB001
The HDB001 model features a distinct green dial color. This earthy shade takes direct inspiration from military outerwear clothing.
The dial surface showcases a beautiful grainy sandblasted texture. This textured finish eliminates harsh reflections during outdoor activities.
White Arabic numerals line the dial to ensure immediate legibility. A vibrant orange GMT hand cuts across the green background. This contrasting hand tracks a second time zone clearly.
Seiko 5 Sports Field GMT HDB002
The HDB002 model shares the same military heritage but offers a different appearance. It presents a beautiful cream dial color.
Like its sibling, this dial features a grainy sandblasted texture. The texture provides a rugged look that evokes desert environments.
Black Arabic numerals contrast sharply against the cream surface. The watch also utilizes an orange GMT hand for tracking dual time zones.
This color combination gives the timepiece a highly sophisticated vintage look.
Movement
Seiko houses a reliable mechanical engine inside these rugged cases. The automatic movement caliber 4R34 powers both timepieces.
This movement includes manual winding capability for user convenience and support Office GMT. It contains 24 jewels and ticks at 21,600 vibrations per hour.
The mechanical engine delivers a steady power reserve of approximately 41 hours. You can view the mechanical movement through a see-through screw case back.
The movement offers a useful date window at the 3 o’clock position. It also includes a stop-second hand function for precise time setting.
The watches also possess a magnetic resistance of 4,800 A/m. This protection shields the delicate mechanical movement from electronic devices.
Seiko successfully combines functionality, heritage, and style in these models. The HDB001 and HDB002 stand out as superb choices for modern watch enthusiasts.
They honor traditional military design while delivering modern dual-time performance. These two models are priced at GBP 410.
