It’s been a super busy week at Seiko, with the brand releasing new additions to three of its collections; Prospex, Presage and 5 Sports. In ‘Seiko Watches: What’s New?’, we’ll explore these latest models, highlighting the brand’s continued commitment to innovation, design, and precision. Whether you like sophisticated dress watches, rugged dive companions, or advanced timekeeping technology, Seiko’s newest offerings bring something fresh to the table. Let’s take a closer look at these new releases!
Seiko Watches: What’s New?
Seiko 5 Sports
Back by popular demand, Seiko introduces four new timepieces that pay tribute to the legendary SKX399—one of the most cherished models in the SKX lineup. The collection brings back the classic black, blue, and orange colourways, while debuting a bold new yellow variant. Staying true to the original, each dial features the familiar layout with richly textured indices, refined hands, and a day-date display at 3 o’clock. A generous luminous coating on the hands and indices ensures excellent visibility in low light. Housed in a 42.5mm stainless steel case topped with a curved Hardlex crystal, the watches offer a timeless yet comfortable wrist presence. A unidirectional bezel remains a key feature, but it’s now enhanced with updated knurling for improved grip as well as a glossy glass insert that adds a touch of modern brilliance.
Inside each case is Seiko’s in-house 4R36 calibre automatic movement, offering a reliable -45/+35 seconds per day accuracy alongside a 41-hour power reserve. This movement embodies the core values of the Seiko 5 Sports collection: reliability, durability, performance, and exceptional value. Two models are equipped with a stainless steel bracelet, while the other two feature a black silicone strap. Both options combine style and comfort, making these watches ideal for both everyday wear and special occasions.
Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver’s GMT 60th Anniversary
The design of this watch commemorates 60 years of Seiko’s heritage in innovative and reliable diving watches. Inspired by the iconic 1968 Diver—the brand’s first hi-beat diver’s watch with a one-piece case—it honours a milestone that helped define the standards of modern dive watch engineering. At the core of this re-interpretation is a crisp white dial accented by luminous diver-style hour markers and silver-tone hands. Enhancing its functionality, the dial includes a red GMT hand that corresponds with Arabic numerals on the flange. This feature allows for the simultaneous tracking of three time zone; enhancing both the design and practicality of the watch. A discreet date window also features between 4 and 5 o’clock for added convenience.
Encasing the dial is a robust 42mm stainless steel case with a super-hard coating for enhanced durability. Sitting atop is a vibrant aquatic blue ceramic bezel. Scratch-resistant and engraved with a diving scale, it’s perfect for underwater navigation. Moreover, the screw-down crown contributes to the watch’s impressive 300-metre water resistance. Inside beats the in-house 6R54 automatic movement, offering reliable performance with an accuracy of -15 to +25 seconds per day as well as a generous 72-hour power reserve. Completing the timepiece is a short-pitch stainless steel bracelet. For the first time in a Prospex model, it features a micro-adjustable clasp for superior comfort and fit.
Seiko Presage Classic
The three new timepieces draw inspiration from traditional Japanese colors of the Edo period. Beneath dual-curved sapphire glass, each domed dial features curved hands and indices that not only evoke a vintage aesthetic but also enhance light reflections. While the design remains consistent across the collection, the dial and case colours vary. The ‘Aijiro‘ features a deep indigo dial inspired by a popular Japanese dye, with a texture that mimics the elegance of traditional Japanese silk. The ‘Shiro-iro‘ showcases a pure white dial, reflecting the natural tone of silk. While the ‘Fushi-iro‘ presents a light brown dial, inspired by silk dyed with Shiba-ki. Each watch is housed in a 36mm stainless steel case, available in either silver or gold tones, offering a compact, refined silhouette that adds an elegant touch to the wrist.
Powering the Classic Series is Seiko’s in-house 6R51 automatic movement. This movement delivers a reliable 72-hour power reserve and precision rated at -15/+25 seconds per day; ensuring dependable, long-lasting performance. Each timepiece is paired with a seven-piece multi-row stainless steel bracelet, crafted not only for visual elegance and light reflection but also for exceptional comfort. The short 6mm links, inspired by 1970s design, provide a flexible, ergonomic fit while adding a vintage touch to the modern silhouette.
