All features and specs are classic Seiko 5 Sports, with a dive watch-like case ( inspired by the SKX007), a unidirectional rotating bezel, a crown at 4 o’clock and a 100m water-resistance. Using as a base the SKX-styled case of the collection, it’s a bit of a mix-and-match of various elements but ultimately, this new model works. And it is back in 2023 with the new Seiko 5 Sports Masked Rider SRPJ91. ![]() ![]() This vintage Seiko 5 model featured a black dial and a silver-coloured bezel insert with black scale, and a matte black dial with baton hands and markers, and several touches of colour. There’s a cool story by our friends at Fratello on this topic if you want to know more. And even more, the main character, Takeshi Hongo (the story involves fighting ex-Nazis, mutant cyborgs, motorbikes, brainwashing and a doubtful grasshopper-themed costume… ah, the 1970s…) was wearing a Seiko reference 5126-8090, later nicknamed Kamen Rider. ![]() Typical of TV shows broadcasted in Japan in the late-1960s and early-1970s, it has gained quite of a cult status despite a questionable production quality. What makes this new Seiko 5 Sports SRPJ91 special isn’t only the fact that it pays tribute to The Masked Rider, but the revival of an old design altogether – something you might know under the name Seiko Kamen Rider (the other name for The Masked Rider). Let’s discover the Seiko 5 Sports Masked Rider SRPJ91. And the reason for that is not specifically the TV Show and character that it pays tribute to, but more the fact that it revives a style that used to exist in the 1970s. Some of the models are quite questionable, but the latest limited edition that we’ll talk about… Well, it simply looks cool. That being said, I must admit that Seiko has some resources and creativity. It is, indeed, a never-ending story, with so many new models coming each year. ![]() Today, it’s yet another Seiko 5 Sports watch that you’ll discover.
