Rowing Blazers branding appeared on the dial, while the exhibition caseback incorporated the brand's skeleton “Tempus Fugit” – Time Flies – motif. Special presentation packaging and alternative strap and bracelet options completed what has become one of the more distinctive Seiko 5 collaborations of recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"auto\"\u003eWhat's on Offer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eHere we have a superb 2021 Seiko 5 Sports Rowing Blazers Zig-Zag Limited Edition, Reference SRPG51, presented with its special-edition box, paperwork, stainless-steel bracelet and wonderfully colourful alternative NATO-style strap.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe black dial provides a relatively restrained backdrop to what is otherwise an exceptionally playful watch. Large luminous hour markers are paired with substantial luminous hands, while the familiar Seiko 5 signature sits prominently beneath 12 o'clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAt 3 o'clock is the practical day-date display, while the Rowing Blazers name appears in distinctive Gothic-style script above 6.
