PRODUCT DETAILS
This watch recreates a popular 1960s Seiko heritage design, nicknamed by Seiko fans after the original was worn by Eugene Kranz, prominent figure in American space history, Flight Director for Apollo 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17.
The original became a universal symbol in the watch-world for being the ultimate ‘tool watch,’ and it laid the foundations for the future of Seiko 5 Sports and SKX watches.
Similar to its 60s inspiration, it features a bi-directional bezel, the vintage Seiko 5 emblem logo on the silver tone dial with a black and white day-date feature and a multi-link bracelet for intricacy and sparkle.
Powered by the in-house built 4R36 automatic movement, this watch has a 40-hour power reserve. This watch is water resistant to 100m.
Seiko 5 Sports is known for over fifty years of reliability, durability, performance and value. ‘’5’’ represents the original five key features of every Seiko 5 still present today: Automatic movement, Day-date display, Water Resistance, Recessed crown and Durable case and strap.

WATER RESISTANCE
Please check the marking on the back of your watch case and refer to the following table to confirm the degree of water resistance of your watch and the preferable conditions of use. A watch’s water resistance is not permanently guaranteed. It is affected by the ageing of gaskets or deformation of watch parts due to accidental shock. To preserve a watch’s water resistance as long as possible, please follow the precautions below:
- Wipe off moisture, sweat or dirt with a soft dry cloth after removing it from the wrist in order to increase the durability of the case back, gaskets and band.
- After using a water resistant watch in ocean water, wash it in fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth.
- Do not wash a water resistant watch while the crown is pulled out.
- Do not operate the crown or press a button when the watch is wet.
- A periodic overhaul service is recommended to check the water resistance of the watch regularly to ensure it’s functionality.
