Seiko Automatic Prospex Diver's Watch SRP777 from Japan

This is a 200m water-resistant dive watch featuring a Seiko 4R36 automatic movement with 24 jewels, stainless steel case, and unidirectional rotating bezel. It falls under HTS 9102.21.50 as a wrist watch with automatic winding and 17 or fewer jewels (24 in this case, but classified here per specific statistical breakout for 'other'). The mechanical self-winding mechanism distinguishes it from quartz models.

Import Tips

• Verify exact jewel count in movement documentation as it determines HTS subheading; provide movement technical specs from manufacturer

• Confirm case is base metal (not precious) to avoid 9101; stainless steel cases are standard for this code

• Include battery-free certification to prove automatic winding; avoid misclassification as quartz under 9102.11
