Seiko Sportura

For the strongest, toughest, no-nonsense man in your life, there is one watch that personifies those qualities, the Seiko Sportura. Originally designed for race car drivers and pilots, this is not your ordinary time piece. When you decide to purchase this carefully designed, classically engineered watch, the Seiko Sportura will make you feel like you control time, not just wear it on your wrist.

There are several models of the Seiko Sportura on the market, that can be broken down into three primary categories: kinetic chronograph, alarm chronograph, and dual display chronograph. Once you have chosen which style suits you best, then you can customize your dream watch even further. Not sure which Seiko Sportura would suit you best? Take a brief look at each style.

The kinetic chronograph Seiko Sportura is great for classic guys who like a blend of antiquity with a dash of modernity. Rather than using a battery, it relies on the natural movement of your arms to keep it ticking day after day. Inside the body of this Seiko Sportura, there is a tiny pendulum that spins another instrument called a pinion at 100,000 rpm, which powers a generator, that stores this energy in an accumulator.

If kinetic movement doesn't excite you, then the alarm chronograph version of the Seiko Sportura line is sure to rev your engines. Possessing an entire inventory of features - including a time difference display, one-channel world alarm, and a time transfer function - this Seiko Sportura has the ability to be submerged up to 100 meters while still allowing the wearer to clearly see through the glare-resistant sapphire crystal.

And finally, the tech-savvy man who also is into sporting events will appreciate the dual display chronograph Seiko Sportura, which shows the analog and digital functions right next to each other. Some models in this category have high-tech features such as flight climb calculations and bezels that have rotating bi-directional navigational slide rules. When it comes to finding a product that is not just functional but handsome as well, the Seiko Sportura is your natural choice.

No matter which Seiko Sportura appeals to you, the quality of manufacture and design that comes naturally to Seiko watches ensures that you will be enjoying it for decades to come, even passing it down to your children and, one day, your grandchildren. The Seiko Sportura line represents masculinity embodied in a durable timepiece that will never go out of style.
