Seiko marked 55 years of 5 Sports in 2023, and the anniversary watch to know is SRPK17: a compact recreation of the first 5 Sports from 1968. Its broad cushion case, black dial, and old-style Seiko 5 shield give it a distinctly different character from the familiar SKX-shaped models in today’s range.

The attraction is how closely the design follows the original without asking you to live with a vintage movement. Inside is the modern 4R36, with hand-winding and hacking—useful everyday conveniences beneath that period-looking dial. The five-row bracelet is part of the effect, giving the watch a softer, more intricate look than an ordinary three-link design.

Be precise about the reference: Seiko also released other 55th-anniversary designs. If you want the 1968 recreation rather than a retro-styled modern 5 Sports, SRPK17 is the distinction that matters.
