This year Seiko<\/a><\/strong> is celebrating the 55th anniversary of its Seiko 5 Sports<\/strong><\/a> collection with a special edition that brings back to life the original created in 1968.

It maintains the distinguishing features, such as the eye-catching weekday and date indication at 3 o\u2019clock, the bold minute track and the red central seconds hand. In addition, the original Seiko 5 Sports logo is revived at the 12 o\u2019clock position and the word \u201cSPORTS\u201d is proudly displayed at 6 o\u2019clock. <\/p>\n

At the heart of the reference SRPK17K1 ticks Seiko\u2019s tried-and-trusted self-winding caliber 4R36 which is protected against magnetic fields of up to 4,800 A\/m. The case is water resistant to 100 meters and attached to a metal bracelet that is also inspired by the make of the early models. The case back is closed and marked with \u201cLimited Edition\u201d  and the serial number. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The watch comes in a specially designed box that evokes the vintage feel of the time when the original Seiko 5 Sports watch was released. <\/p>\n

Limited to 15,555 pieces, it will be available from July 2023. Pricing for the Seiko 5 Sports 55th Anniversary Limited Edition<\/strong> is marked at approximately $450 when converted to USD. <\/p>\n
