Seiko 5 Sports Collection Gets New 38mm Variants Available In Four New Models

 

The re-launch of the iconic Sports 5 collection marked a major revival for Seiko, a brand with a cult following among mechanical watch enthusiasts. Now, Seiko has introduced four new timepieces in its Seiko 5 Sports collection, featuring a well-proportioned 38mm mid-sized case inspired by one of Seiko's iconic sports watches. The dial colors pay homage to Seiko's beloved diver's watches, which first gained popularity in the 1980s.

The ancestry of these mid-sized releases can be traced back to the original Seiko Sports 5 model which celebrates its 55th Anniversary in 2023.

Like their ancestors, the new variants adhere to the 5 traits

For more than half a century, Seiko 5 Sports has been the go-to choice for enthusiasts of mechanical watches worldwide, thanks to its unparalleled dependability, sturdiness, efficiency, and value. Now, with a brand-new design and an extensive new series, this beloved watch is being reborn. Welcome to the new Seiko 5 Sports collection - a line that embodies the same enduring values, but with a modern and updated appearance.

The latest Sports 5 models feature a 38mm stainless steel case construction

Since the launch of the collection in 1963, Seiko Sports 5 timepieces have been aimed at a younger collector audience with an aspiration for style and value. The symbolic 5 traits making up these nuances for the ‘5’ collection which were an automatic movement, a day/date window, water resistance, a crown at 4 o'clock, and rugged construction continue to inspire the profiles and aesthetic for the latest iterations, this time available in four new timepieces.

A choice of four new dial options is available

Function-focused minimalistic designs don’t go better than Seiko 5 Sports watches now introduced in mid-size 38mm case construction. These timepieces foster a compulsive desirability inspired by the simplicity and cultivate a timeless affection for neo-vintage aesthetics.
