SEIKO 5 Sports Collaborates With BAMFORD To Present A Daring Limited-Edition Model

Created under the concept envisioned by George Bamford—renowned custom watch pioneer and founder of Bamford Watch Department—this model invites wearers on a journey to “paradise,” a world of freedom and refreshment away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Based on the ever-popular SKX series, the design reinterprets Seiko archive models using collage techniques. The result is a one-of-a-kind limited edition that fuses nostalgia with a futuristic spirit, offering a playful and imaginative take on retro-futurism.

Featuring a blue skeleton dial, this model incorporates the indexes and hands once used in the 1980s SKX series. The ocean-inspired translucent dial embodies George Bamford’s vision of duality—of what is seen and unseen, of the present and the timeless—capturing two worlds in one design. The bezel insert recreates a classic Seiko archive design using a lustrous material that blends a sense of nostalgia with a futuristic feel. The “BAMFORD” logo is subtly placed at the 6 o’clock position on the dial and on the clasp of the nylon strap, adding a discreet signature touch.
