Seiko, Wind Vintage, and Rowing Blazers have joined forces once again for their fourth collaboration, and it's a doozy. This time, they've crafted two new timepieces that pay homage to the original 'Rally Diver' while adding a touch of modern flair. The result? A pair of watches that are not only visually stunning but also packed with features that will delight watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The SRPM19 and SRPM21 are two configurations of the same watch, each bundled with a NATO strap and a bracelet. The SRPM19 boasts a 42mm Seiko 5 Sports case with a bright blue dial, while the SRPM21 features a 38mm case with a racing green dial. Both watches are limited to 2,500 pieces each, making them highly sought-after collectibles.
What makes this collaboration particularly exciting is the attention to detail. The blue and green dials are executed with a matte finish, and the hands and applied indices are filled with an aged color of LumiBrite, creating a soft, light 'sage' patina that collectors find desirable. The rally-themed central seconds hand ties the whole aesthetic together, paying homage to the original 'Rally Diver' design.
Under the hood, both watches are powered by the in-house automatic Seiko 4R36 movement, which provides not only the hours, minutes, and seconds display but also the day and date indications at the 3 o'clock position of the dial. This is a rare feature for watches under US$1,000, making it a valuable addition to the Seiko 5 Sports range.
The collaboration also showcases the brands' commitment to innovation and style. The brushed stainless steel three-link bracelet and the nylon strap, provided in the opposing color, offer versatility and comfort. The 'Wind Vintage' text etched into the crystal and the Rowing Blazers faucet 'Bath Club' motif add a touch of personality to the timepieces.
In my opinion, this collaboration is a testament to the power of collaboration in the watch industry. By combining the expertise of Seiko, Wind Vintage, and Rowing Blazers, they've created something truly special. The result is a watch that not only looks good but also offers exceptional value for money. If you're a watch enthusiast or a collector, this collaboration is definitely one to keep an eye on.
The Rowing Blazers x Wind Vintage x Seiko 5 Sports SRPM19 & SRPM21 will be available for purchase on July 9, 2026, at 11 am ET on the Rowing Blazers and Seiko USA websites. With a price tag of US$495, these watches are sure to be a hit among watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.
