Seiko 5 Sports Limited Edition – Edo Purple

Celebrating Seiko’s 145th Anniversary

Inspired by Tokyo’s rich cultural heritage and ever-evolving aesthetic, the Seiko 5 Sports Limited Edition celebrates Seiko’s 145th anniversary with a striking Edo purple dial. Part of the third series of commemorative limited-edition timepieces, this special model pays tribute to the traditions, creativity, and enduring spirit of Japan’s capital.

Inspired by Edo Murasaki

The dial showcases Edo Murasaki, a distinctive shade of purple that gained popularity in clothing during Japan’s Edo period. Rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics, this rich hue bridges historical heritage with contemporary style, making the watch a distinctive accessory for modern fashion.

Based on the popular SKX series, the model combines the collection’s sporty design with refined anniversary details. The gold-colored Seiko 5 Sports logo evokes a bright and promising future, symbolizing the optimism and significance of Seiko’s 145th anniversary.

Sporty Design. Refined Comfort.

The stainless steel case is paired with a three-row stainless steel bracelet that offers a comfortable fit and a sophisticated, luxurious appearance. A curved Hardlex crystal complements the watch’s sporty profile, while LumiBrite-treated hands and indices ensure legibility in low-light conditions.

Powered by Seiko’s reliable automatic Caliber 4R36, the watch features day-and-date functionality and a stop-seconds function for precise time setting. The unidirectional rotating bezel reinforces its practical sports-watch design, while the see-through screw case back provides a view of the mechanical movement within.

The case back is marked with “LIMITED EDITION,” highlighting the exclusivity of this anniversary release.
