Seiko 2nd Generation Black-Red Monster with new 24-Jewel Automatic Movement #SRP313K2

Seiko 2nd Generation Black-Red Monster with new 24-Jewel Automatic Movement #SRP313K2

The Seiko Superior SRP313K2 is the new, second generation Black-Red Monster dive watch.

It retains the essentials of the original such as the excellent bracelet, case and bezel, while changing the dial slightly and going with a new 24-jewel Seiko caliber 4R36 automatic (self-winding) movement. You will notice right away that the hour markers are shaped like shark teeth instead of the original mostly rectangular shapes. The inner sixty minute markings are no longer displayed making for a cleaner, less cluttered look.

The biggest change is on the inside. The watch is now powered by a new 24-jewel caliber 4R36 movement which now can be hacked and hand wound. Hacking is handy for synchronizing the watch with another timepiece. Just unscrew the crown. Pull it out to the 2nd position and the second hand will stop while you set the time. Hand winding lets you power up the watch manually after it has sat unworn for a few days. The movement is more accurate also compared to the caliber 7S26 used in the first Monster.

The powerful Seiko LumiBrite luminescent material is of course still used and it retains the same brilliant glowing properties that made the Orange Monster such a huge worldwide phenomenon with watch enthusiasts and scuba divers. It is a very slightly different shade of blue-green this time. Still an awesome sight in the dark after charging it with a bright light source. You will also notice a new nicely machined crown that is a bit easier to grip than the previous version.

Lug width is 20mm. Case size is 43mm. Slightly domed Hardlex mineral crystal. Concave dive bezel to help protect the crystal. Stainless steel bracelet with a dual push-button deployant clasp with safety latch. Solid screw-in case back. Water resistant to 200 meters. Day and date window. It's a fantastic bargain.

    Great price for an authentic watch. Appreciate the fast shipping. This will be my number 1 online store to buy a watch and will recommend to friends. Hopefully in the near future you guys can have more brands especially affordable swiss watches such as "Hamilton" and "Tissot". Thank you so much!

    Great watch--great customer service

    Posted by John Wozniak on May 12th 2014

    The movement in the 2nd Generation Monster is a major improvement over the 1st Generation. The ability to hack and hand wind the Monster makes it one of the most reliable watches I own. In fact, the movement is more accurate than some of the Swiss automatics I spent two, three or four times the money on. Highly recommend the watch-- and Long Island Watch. The company has always provided nothing but the best customer service to me. I will continue to business with them and recommend them to anyone looking for great products and exceptional service.

    Seiko 2nd Generation Black-Red Monster

    Posted by Michael Horn on Mar 31st 2014

    Got this beauty - my first 2nd generation Monster - to compliment my 7 1st gen Seiko's including the YM, RM, BlueM and assorted Japan only models. The movement hacks and self winds - a minor annoyance for my 1st gen watches. Fit and finish and a larger size make this watch worth every dime. Island Watch - makes the purchase safe, secure and uncomplicated - even sending it through the US Military postal system to South Korea.

    NO DOUBT--SIMPLY THE BEST.....PERIOD!!!

    Posted by William Sturman on Jan 13th 2014

    I've steered many a watch enthusiast to LIWC and my very best friend in the world, Chris just gave me this Seiko for XMAS 2014. A hell of a surprise! It is absolutely beautiful in every respect. I have the bracelet & the strap and both are high quality. The new movement is a great upgrade & mine keeps excellent time as in +/- 2 seconds a day. The red accents are stunning & easy to read and the lume indicators are fantastic & bright. I recommend this to anyone in the market for such a watch. Marc and LIWC is best online watch company Barr none with superior service from start to finish. This is one BEAUTIFUL WATCH!!! Bill~
