Seiko 5 Sports "Rally Diver Returns" Collaboration
Seiko has launched a fourth collaboration with Rowing Blazers and Wind Vintage, reintroducing the "Rally Diver" concept in two new colorways and case sizes. These models feature distinctive rally-style bezels and are based on vintage Seiko designs, continuing a popular partnership.
- Limited to 2,500 pieces for each reference
- Price: $495
- 38mm and 42.5mm case sizes available
- Stainless steel case
- Seiko 4R36 automatic movement
- 100 meters water resistance
The 38mm green model (SRPC21) features aged Lumibrite on its indexes and hands, with a red-and-silver striped seconds hand.
The distinctive green-and-silver checkered rally bezel is a nod to Seiko sports divers from the late 1960s.
The exhibition case back on both models features a mineral-glass lens with the Rowing Blazers Bath Club motif.
The blue 42.5mm model (SRPC19) uses aged Lumibrite on a bright blue dial and features a classic blue rally bezel.
Eric Wind states the design is based on a 1960s Seiko 5 design that was his first vintage watch purchase and reminiscent of his father's daily wear.
The rally bezel's checkerboard design is described as an idiosyncratic choice for a dive watch, allowing for playful color use.
The watches are a continuation of the original Rally Diver from the 2021 collaboration, itself an homage to a late sixties Seiko Rally Diver.
The blue Rally Diver (SRPC19) retains the 42.5mm sizing of the 2021 edition, while the green version (SRPC21) is offered in a smaller 38mm case.
