While many watch brands hastily capitalize on motorsport hype with superficial designs, the new Seiko 5 Sports Supercars Limited Edition (ref. SRPL54K) stands out as a rare exception. Priced at AUD$695 and limited to 2,025 pieces, this timepiece blends genuine racing inspiration with the technical prowess Seiko is known for.
A Tribute to the Racetrack
The watch pays homage to Supercars (formerly V8 Supercars), a partnership Seiko has maintained since 2014. Its design mirrors the racetrack with an asphalt-textured dial, grid-patterned bezel markers, and a LumiBrite-coated 12 o’clock indicator. Under the hood, the Caliber 4R36 automatic movement ensures reliable performance with 41 hours of power reserve—a key feature for discerning collectors.
Built for Performance and Wearability
With a 42.5mm case diameter and 13.4mm thickness, the watch strikes a balance between presence and everyday comfort. Its 100-meter water resistance further enhances practicality, making it suitable for both casual and active wear.
Attention to Detail Extends to Packaging
Seiko has gone beyond the watch itself, housing it in a custom case shaped like the Mount Panorama Circuit, complete with a miniature pit lane tower replica. This thoughtful touch reinforces the connection to Australian motorsport heritage.
Daniel Findlay, Seiko Australia’s Marketing Manager, emphasized the brand’s commitment: “This Limited Edition Seiko 5 Sports watch is a testament to our shared passion for performance and precision. Every detail reflects the essence of the racetrack.”
Available now on seikowatches.com, the SRPL54K is a rare example of a motorsport collaboration that delivers both style and substance.
