Despite measuring in at 43.2mm wide and having an unmistakable wrist presence, this Seiko Prospex Urban Safari SRPE29K1 sits comfortably on the wrist. It does bare much resemblance to the Seiko Tuna, as it brandishes a similar stainless steel knurled bezel, which allows the bi-coloured uni-directional bezel to be easily turned. Also present on the dial is a lume pip at the 12 o’clock mark to increase legibility. Also similar to the original Tuna model is to the black metal shroud that protects the case. This bestows the watch with a tank like appearance, as well as the feeling that it would be able to take on some military-grade impact as well.  A screw down crown sits neatly besides the 4 o’clock mark.

The Dial:

The brown dial of this safari inspired timepiece is neatly laid out which allows for easy readability. It consists of lume coated indices that are subtly engorged that adds a nice level of texture to the dial. Similarly, the polished silver batton styled hands add to the legibility of the watch. A day date window is present, as it replaced the 3 o'clock marker. Much depth is provided through the two step rehaut design, which makes the dial of the watch appear as if it sitting way beneath the hardlex crystal glass that protects it. Lastly, the Seiko logo is present beneath the 12 o'clock mark.

The Strap:

The strap is made from reinforced silicon bands that are able to withstand harsh operating environments. Also, the brown strap has a ribbed design, which is a subtle reminder of the watch’s background. Seiko’s attention detail is present in the form of the wave design that is embossed on the strap. It fastens using a standard buckle.
