Seiko continues to expand the 5 Sports range with updated models that might look quite familiar to you…
Seiko is known for having a dedicated audience of watch enthusiasts who have loved their value for money, the variety offered and execution of a product for decades now. It makes sense, Seiko offer watches that are vertically integrated in house hitting all price points from £100 all the way up to six figures.

Last year we saw the first most obvious step towards this in the shape of the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD. Nicknamed the '5KX' by the community, 27 models all with rotating bezels, familiar colours, a case design closely resembling the SKX and an eclectic mix of standard watch straps all being presented. This was pretty big for Seiko and the community. This felt like a huge appreciative acknowledgement was thrown in the direction of the Seiko community, the same community who had spent the last 20 years modifying their SKX’s to look almost unrecognisable as a Seiko in some cases.

And now in 2020, Seiko has just a little more acknowledgement to throw at the community with new additions, this time dive bezel-less. The new Seiko 5 Sports now rock a completely smooth bezel, dropping the overly sports and practical rotating bezel. The other change that is noticeable is a slight shift in hands used as the minute hand is now a little slimmer with a more compact arrow tipping the hand. Colours and options remain a big selling point of the newest Seiko 5 as we see a large variation available right from launch.

It is just another part of these new watches that are hard to ignore as we see greys, blues, greens, blacks, two-tone models both rose gold and yellow gold-coloured now available. Seiko is not messing with these new 5 Sports.
