Seiko and Bamford Debut Retro-Future Limited-Edition Seiko 5 Sports Watch

Summary

• Seiko and Bamford partnered for a limited-edition Seiko 5 Sports watch
• The design has a “Retro Future” theme, with a bright blue skeleton dial
• Limited to 2,025 pieces, the watch will be available starting October 1, 2025

Seiko has partnered with Bamford for their inaugural collaboration featuring a limited-edition Seiko 5 Sports SRPL95 watch. The design centers on a “Retro Future” concept, blending design elements from two historic Seiko 5 Sports watches: a classic 1980s SKX and a 1960s model. Housed in a 42.5mm stainless steel case, Bamford’s signature touch emerges in the skeleton dial that exposes the automatic 4R36 caliber as well as its 41-hour power reserve. Set against a vibrant light blue dial plate, vivid colour accents frame the oversized indices, while also marking the unmistakable Bamford logo at 6 o’clock.

Beyond the dial, every detail reinforces the timepiece’s artistic narrative. A uni-directional bezel and 22mm lug width ensure robust functionality, while the NATO strap’s metal loop bears Bamford’s insignia, all set against brushed and polished surfaces. The engraved caseback showcases a subtle retro motif, echoing mid-century Seiko graphics and transforms the watch into a rotating gallery that honors both brands’ storied pasts. Packaging arrives as a canvas of its own — a special edition box woven with graphic nods to 1960s Seiko promotional art and period-inspired typography.

Priced at £400 GBP (approx. $538 USD), the Seiko 5 Sports x Bamford Limited Edition is available in a limited run of 2,025 pieces and will be shoppable via Seiko’s UK webstore starting October 1, 2025.
