Seiko celebrates the 45th anniversary of Honda’s Motocompo with a special edition of the Seiko 5 Sports Field watch that is inspired by the cult folding scooter’s unmistakable look and spirit.
Grand Seiko is renewing the core Evolution 9 Collection with nine updated references, revised nature-inspired dials, improved bracelets, micro-adjust clasps, and broader use of its ±20-seconds-per-year Spring Drive U.F.A. Caliber 9RB2.
Seiko expands its Presage Classic Series with four new models inspired by Tomioka silk, one of Japan’s most celebrated textile traditions. Featuring richly textured dials, a new 38-mm case size, and the automatic Caliber 6R51, the collection includes a limited edition of 2,000 pieces.
The new KUBO collection from KIWAME TOKYO ASAKUSA pairs compact 37mm proportions with lacquer dials, a Miyota automatic movement and a recessed small-seconds display inspired by the Japanese idea of a hollow or recessed space.
Drawing inspiration from historic milestones while incorporating modern specifications, these new Seiko sports watches pay tribute to the Japanese manufacturer’s rich legacy in both watchmaking and professional diving instruments.

Marking its 145th anniversary, Seiko introduces two Presage Classic Series limited editions: one with a cobalt blue Arita porcelain dial and another with a silk-inspired white dial, both powered by Caliber 6R51 featuring 72 hours of power reserve.
A familiar field watch silhouette, reworked with sharper proportions and a new 41 mm case size: the new Seiko 5 Sports Field Series refines the everyday tool watch with subtle design updates, a compass bezel, and the reliable Caliber 4R36 automatic movement.
