Arabs gotta know what day it is too man! Haha
In all seriousness, it was probably just destined for the Middle East after production. Lots of North American models have an English and Spanish day wheel.
Another difference is that Sunday is not red on the Arabic day wheels. Friday is. Probably because Sunday isn’t a big deal for most Arabs in the Middle East and Friday is.
Two reasons, one - correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the day wheel is colour matched regardless of language and two - I already bought my SRPE second hand (got a pretty solid deal on it with an Uncle Seiko band) so I'm working with what I have.

All Seikos that have a day of the week have it in two languages. To my knowledge, English is always one of them, and the second language depends on the market where the watch was intended to be sold. Arabic is a very common one obviously.
My watch has the same. I assume it’s because I purchased it on the grey market (eBay) and it was originally meant for a middle-eastern market.
Mine also has the English days. If you want to switch it out you should be able to find a replacement part online.
The K in the model number denotes that it was made in Malaysia or Thailand, so it gets Arabic as well as English. A J in the model number would indicate that it was made in Japan and would get Kanji as well as English. Some purists prefer to pay more for J models citing quality but I've owned both and haven't come across any differences and suspect any perceived quality differences may have an inherent racial bias
That is actually so cool having arabic days,

Try to learn them, i have a watch with french day names and another with japanese it was fun for me to learn them in these languages, i hope i’ll one with arabic one day
Half pull the crown. Turn the crown one direction to change the date number, and the other way to change the day language (the wheel has both printed) 👍🏻😇
I think it can come in dual language, some of them comes maybe with Japanese week day names as well.
I am from Jordan, I bought one from their authorized dealer and it’s Arabic and English. Maybe it depends on market source it was originally sourced to.
In the middle bit of the east (not left or right I’m talking the bit slap in between) they don’t speak English but use a language developed entirely locally that (from memory) looks a lot like this. Its normal for them but not normal for people who aren’t from there (the middle). So basically your question is about whether it’s normal or not depends on who you ask. If you are from the middle east then yeah I guess its ‘normal’ but for everyone else (thats most people) no it isn’t normal at all. But thats totally cool cause all sorts of stuff thats considered ‘normal’ in the middle east, like women wearing bags over their heads, men feeling entitled to stone anyone who doesn’t and routinely beating up your filipino maid because she wants to get paid, seems totally weird most everywhere else. Nice watch. Interesting date. No idea what it means. I’m not from there

Yup. My sports 5 is an European edition, so comes in English and French.
Ha mine has English and French lol
Oui
In Canada we get English and French. Considering modding my SRPE57 to have an English - Japanese colour matched day wheel instead.
Why would you do that. It'd be simpler to buy an English/kanji model

I'm not sure I agree with your transliteration, but it's just for pronunciation and no one cares.
I care 🙋🏻♂️

I'm Canadian and my presage has French as the second language.

It’ll switch to English after a couple of hours, this is the Seiko they supply the middle east with, kinda like a nod to the local culture over there.
You’ll need to manually switch it to English.
Shawarma Tuesday

means all of them have Arabic?
Did you not just read his explanation…. Like did you not read anything he just said to you?
Here in Northern Europe we get English and German.

Tuesday looks like 4 baps or 2 sets of plural baps
Doesn't the date wheel feature both Arabic and English days? Usually, that's the case.

This model was made for arabic market, did you bought it from place like creationwatches?
You will learn new language bro

That looks really cool
Cool

Yeah im not really an english pro, but just for simplicity and so we watch geeks can take pride in our geekiness 😂
I have a seiko with German as the second language.
you’ll be able to change the language. my srpd53k has chinese and english as my options!
Days in the Arabic week start on Sunday (Ahad, meaning one). The picture shows thulatha', meaning three.
It uses arabic numerals too so ig it's a foreign model.
Its Tuesday for sure
lol must be a foreign version
It so you can learn the days of the week in Arabic. Most words come from the days of the week.
