Seiko And Rowing Blazers Collaborate On Three New Seiko Sports 5 Models

What better way to jumpstart the summer months than a throwback to the ‘90s? Seiko’s latest collaboration with Jack Carlson and Rowing Blazers does just that by adding the fashion brand’s signature preppy yet playful touch on the iconic Seiko 5 Sports model.

The juxtaposition between Seiko’s classic model and the addition of Rowing Blazers’ signature color flair perfectly articulates the New York-based clothing brand’s mantra of combining streetwear with vintage British and American fashions.

This collaboration marks Jack Carlson’s premier endeavor in the watch world, making the founder and creative director all the more excited for this partnership: “Collaborating with Seiko is a dream come true,” Carlson said in a press release. A watch collector himself, Carlson has collected both modern and vintage Seiko’s as well as selling vintage models on the website.
 

And as Seiko celebrates its 140^th anniversary, the watchmaker continues pursuing its mission to “Always Stay One Step Ahead of the Rest” by collaborating with Carlson as the watches in the partnership pay homage to classic Seikos while still having a modern element of amusement.
 

Finally, the three black-dialed watches come in a 42.5mm stainless steel case that is water-resistant to 100 meters and powered by the automatic 4R36 caliber with a 41-hour power reserve.
 

Brynn Wallner, the founder of Instagram watch sensation Dimepiece, got up close and personal with the collection and told Watchonista, “I love how the Rowing Blazers x Seiko watches are so consistently in line with the Rowing Blazers Spirit. The devil really is in the detail of these watches. It’s cool to see a playful approach to watch design, and it’s very much in line with my personal approach to the hobby.”
