Seiko 2nd Generation PVD Orange Monster with new 24-Jewel Automatic Movement #SRP311K1

The Seiko Superior SRP311 is the new, second generation Orange Monster dive watch with a black PVD Case and Bracelet.

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. Black PVD case size is 43mm. Slightly domed Hardlex mineral crystal. Concave dive bezel to help protect the crystal. Black PVD 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.

Love the watch

Posted by Darren on Jan 17th 2017

I wasn't sure I should have bought the monster, but have really loved it after a few weeks. Although it came with a minor scuff (not a dealbreaker), I am extremely pleased with the design of the watch and how much closer it conforms to my wrist on a nato compared to my skx175 on a nato. In person, it looks amazing, as the photos don't do it justice. Marc has been responsive to all my emails for this and other orders. I will definitely do more business with Long Island Watch.

My new Seiko srp311

Posted by Steve English on Oct 25th 2015

I just ordered this watch Sunday Sept 20, and received it Sept 24th ! This is the second watch Ive ordered in the last couple months and these people are awesome! The watches come packed to the hilt and in absolute pristine condition. I now have two Seiko monsters and a Seiko 5. I will absolutely be ordering my next watch from Long Island!! AWESOME SERVICE !!!!!Oh yea, one more thing...After 31 days of continuous wear, the watch has only gained 10 seconds! That's less than 1/3 second a day! Unbelievable!! You just cant do better than Seiko and Long Island Watch!! PERIOD !!

Monster revisited

Posted by tony duronio on Jun 27th 2013

It's been awhile since I owned one of these. The new movement intrigued me, but in all honesty the color combo match my new motorcycle perfectly. That said, the watch turned out to be an incredible value, love the new dial color, markers etc. The new movement is a bonus, with hand wind and hacking, now the kicker, it's running +2 seconds a day! Highly recommend this one, and Marc is a great retailer
