Seiko 5 Sports turns purple and gold for 145 years

Seiko’s familiar 5 Sports SKX-inspired design gets a vivid purple dial and gold-coloured accents for the brand’s 145th anniversary. Textured indexes and a glossy bezel add a refined touch without sacrificing the approachable sports-watch silhouette.

Its 42.5mm stainless steel case contains the automatic 4R36, with day-date display and a stated 41-hour power reserve. The watch offers luminescent hands and markers, a transparent caseback and 100-metre water resistance. With 9,999 pieces planned and a US recommended price of $450, it is the least expensive option among the six Edo-purple anniversary models.
