Seiko 5 Sports Honda Super Cub automatic blue dial NATO strap 42,5 mm

An iconic collection

Appearing in the 1960s, the Seiko 5 was a new standard in the world of affordable mechanical watches. Many watch enthusiasts even discovered watchmaking thanks to one of these models that was as affordable as it was robust and reliable! Synonymous with reliability, durability and performance, these values are unquestionably appreciated by mechanical watch enthusiasts the world over.

For some time now, Seiko has been collaborating with several other Japanese companies to create some super-cool collabs. These have included tributes to Brian May, Naruto watches, Street Fighter and Ultra Seven. Today, the brand presents a limited edition of 5,000 in collaboration with Honda: the Seiko 5 Sports Super Cub!

Inspired by the Super Cub

First introduced in 1958, the Super Cub is one of Honda's most iconic creations, acclaimed by motorcycle enthusiasts the world over. In 2017, total production of the series exceeded 100 million units. Seiko therefore had to create a watch in its honor!

This model is therefore based on the Seiko 5 Sports model, with a 42.5 mm-diameter steel case and offers water resistance to a depth of 100 meters. Its blue dial symbolizes the silhouette of the two-wheeler seen from the front, while the indexes represent the headlights and indicators. This watch presented on a two-tone "Nato" nylon strap, marked with the Super Cub and Honda logos.

This model, created in collaboration with Honda, is offered as a limited edition: the caseback is engraved with the Super Cub emblem, accompanied by the words "LIMITED EDITION" and its serial number ranging from 1 to 7,500! The first-generation Super Cub logo also adorns the crown.

Finally, the watch is sold with a special strap and will be delivered in a case whose vintage style recalls the first Super Cub instruction manual.

Technical side

This Seiko 5 Sports embeds the self-winding Manufacture caliber 4R36. This is one of the Japanese firm's must-have movements, which is notably used in most Presage and Prospex watches. It beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a 42-hour power reserve. Designed to be reliable and robust, its construction is as simple as possible. What's more, it features a highly appreciable "Day / Date" complication!
