And the dial reads 风林火山, or f urinkazan, at nine o’clock, a phrase found on Ryu’s gloves that translates as “wind, forest, fire, and mountain”. According to Seiko, the faux scratches on the bezel are meant to evoke the character’s gruelling training. The predominant white colour is based on the judo uniform worn by Ryu. Arguably, the most elegant model in the collection, the SRPF17 has a simple overall design with details like the faceted hour markers that resemble the character’s spike bracelet. Using Chun-Li’s outfit for the colour palette, the SRPF17 features a blue dial with gold accents on the bezel. Still, the Street Fighter editions are amongst the most affordable pop culture-collaboration Seiko watches to date, especially compared Prospex Gundam or Grand Seiko Godzilla editions. ![]() But the price has also increased steeply – the Street Fighter editions cost almost twice as much as the standard model – no doubt due to the royalties due to the game’s developer. The new limited editions escalate the fun factor with creative dial designs and bright colours. While it sounds large, the watch is more wearable that the diameter suggests thanks to the short lug-to-lug span at 46 mm.Īlso identical is the 4R36 movement and lack of a screw-in crown, which feels counterintuitive on a sports watch, though strictly speaking there is no practical difference between the two in everyday use. Now the redesigned watch is the base for the Seiko 5 Sports x Street Fighter V, a limited-edition collection that’s a tribute to the iconic one-on-one fighting video game developed by Japanese game maker Capcom. Each of the six watches in the line up is inspired by character from Street Fighter, one of the bestselling games in history, with some 45 million units sold to date and a major part of growing up in the 1990s.Įssentially variants of the same watch with different dials and bezels, the Street Fighter editions have the same case as the regular production model, which means 42.5 mm wide, 13.3 mm thick, and a 100 m depth rating. Last year Seiko gave the Seiko 5 Sports a complete revamp, giving it a diver “lite” look. Introduced five decades ago, the Seiko 5 is much loved for its affordability and infinite variety.
