"Seiko has long been recognized as a watchmaker that strikes the perfect balance between timeless craftsmanship and forward-thinking innovation. In its latest move, the Japanese giant has joined forces with Bamford, the British customization studio renowned for reshaping iconic timepieces into bold statements. Together, they have introduced the Seiko 5 Sports SRPL95, a limited-edition watch that fuses heritage and modern creativity through a concept Bamford fittingly calls "Retro Future.""
"This inaugural collaboration between Seiko and Bamford represents more than just a limited release. It marks the union of two design philosophies: Seiko's history of democratizing mechanical watchmaking and Bamford's daring approach to customization and aesthetics. With just 2,025 pieces available worldwide, the SRPL95 promises to be one of the most sought-after releases of the year. Retro Future: A Design Language Rooted in Heritage"
"The SRPL95 is built on the Seiko 5 Sports foundation, a line celebrated for accessibility, durability, and self-expression. Bamford reinterprets this DNA by pulling elements from two classic references: a rugged 1980s SKX diver and a stylish 1960s Seiko sports watch. The resulting design captures a nostalgic energy while simultaneously looking ahead, blending details that span decades into a single unified statement."
"At 42.5mm, the stainless steel case offers a contemporary size without overwhelming the wrist. The skeletonized dial is the star attraction, pulling back the curtain to showcase Seiko's 4R36 automatic movement. This caliber delivers a 41-hour power reserve and 21,600 vibrations per hour, ensuring reliability for everyday wear while giving collectors a glimpse into the mechanics that power the watch."
Seiko and Bamford partnered to create the limited-edition Seiko 5 Sports SRPL95, produced in just 2,025 pieces worldwide.
