Seiko Packs a Punch with Bruce Lee-Styled 55th Anniversary Watch Collection!
Since its inception in 1968, the Seiko 5 Sports collection has been synonymous with durable and reliable mechanical watches cherished by enthusiasts worldwide. To celebrate the 55th anniversary of this iconic collection, Seiko is proudly unveiling a limited-edition masterpiece, while paying homage to the legendary Hong Kong-American film actor, Bruce Lee, a devoted wearer of Seiko 5 Sports during his lifetime.
This remarkable timepiece commemorates Bruce Lee’s extraordinary accomplishments as a martial artist, actor, and cultural icon.
Bruce Lee, a San Francisco native, was a film actor, martial artist, director, and mentor whose influence transcended borders. He skyrocketed to international stardom with the blockbuster hit “The Big Boss” in 1971 but met a tragic end at the age of 32 while filming “Enter the Dragon” in 1973.
A multi-talented creator and martial arts maestro, Lee founded Jeet Kune Do, which translates to “Way of the Intercepting Fist.” His legacy continues to captivate admirers from all corners of the globe.
The watch’s dial proudly showcases a dragon illustration personally drawn by Bruce Lee during his lifetime. The bezel is adorned with characters embodying the spirit of Jeet Kune Do, featuring the profound phrase, “Using no way as way; having no limitation as limitation.“
Under the hood, the watch is powered by the robust Caliber 4R36, boasting an impressive 10-bar water resistance rating. Its crystal-clear glass is protected by a durable Hardlex crystal, while the stainless steel case, featuring a sleek black hard coating, enhances the watch’s longevity. Take a closer look at the watch below:
A black leather strap, accented with silver stitching, evokes the essence of kung fu attire. Its inner lining boasts the same captivating dragon design as seen on the dial. Additionally, this exceptional timepiece includes an alternate nylon strap inspired by the iconic yellow tracksuit famously worn by Lee.
Flip it over, and you’ll find the Jeet Kune Do core symbol on the case back, a design based on the yin-yang symbol, complete with the “Limited Edition” lettering and serial number. The watch is impeccably presented in a specially designed box, adorned with Bruce Lee’s signature.
This exclusive timepiece, known as the Seiko 5 Sports Bruce Lee Limited Edition (SRPK39), will hit Seiko Boutiques and select retail outlets worldwide in October 2023, with a limited production run of just 15,000 units. For more product details, visit their special website here.
