Description
Based on Seiko’s world-renowned SNXS sports watch, the new series was developed with the concept of EDC (Everyday Carry), something you carry every day. While retaining the characteristic case shape and the small crown at the 4 o’clock position that doesn’t interfere with the flowing case shape, there are also various improvements, and the series has evolved.
The sporty black dial features an orange seconds hand, which was used in many 5 Sports watches in the 1970s. The multi-faceted hour and minute hands reflect light while imparting a strong presence. Lumibrite is applied on the upper surface of the 11 bar indexes and the hour and minute hands.
Taken together and in combination with the then new mainspring and shock resistance system, these features gave Seiko 5 its distinctive appearance and its strength.
