Seiko 5 Sports One Piece ‘Sabo’ Automatic Watch with Blue Dial and Blue Silicone Strap SRPH71K1

Introducing limited edition watches created in partnership with one of the most successful Japanese Manga anime series: One Piece. The One Piece stories are based on a pirate theme with good overcoming evil, the main character pursuing the ‘one piece’ for him to become the Pirate King. The fun, colourful and eye-catching animations are the inspiration behind this watch collaboration, with each watch representing one of the five key characters in the series. This specific watch takes its design cues from the character Sabo, the Revolutionary Army’s chief of staff who is outranked only by Supreme Commander and the ‘World’s Worst Criminal’ – Monkey D.Luffy’s father – Monkey D. Dragon. He is also the sworn brother of the notorious pirates Monkey D. Luffy and the late Portgas D. Ace. Each limited edition piece comes with its own special box. Seiko 5 Sports is known for over fifty years of reliability, durability, performance and value. ‘’5’’ represents the original five key features of every Seiko 5 still present today: Automatic movement, Day-date display, Water Resistance, Recessed crown and Durable case and bracelet. The Case: The Seiko 5 Sports One Piece ‘Sabo’ SRPH71K1 case measures 42.5mm in diameter and is made from solid stainless steel. The shape of the watch’s case is similar to that of a ‘Turtle’, whose nickname derives from its cushion style case and its shell-like-profile. An oversized silver screw down crown is present beside the 4 o’clock mark, it is protected by a crown guard, which bolsters the functionality of this watch. A unidirectional bezel exhibits a black 60-minute and blue knurled edges that ensure that the bezel can be operated easily. Hardlex crystal glass has been used to protect the dial from scratches and damage sustained from knocks. The case also features a see-through case-back with a limited edition One Piece print, as well as the serial number engraved into the case. The Dial: The dial is decorated with a flare pattern that resembles the flames that arise when Ace unleashes his “Flame fist,” his signature move inherited from Sabo. The layout of the dial remains fairly simplistic, as it exhibits a signature Seiko arrow handset and applied round dive indices; both of which have been filled with Seiko’s lumibrite material which enables the dial to be read in the dark. Also present on the dial is a day-date display window at 3 o’clock and a 60-minute scale that is presented on the blue chapter ring. The Seiko 5 Sports logo is rendered in white beneath the 12 o’clock marker. The Strap: The watch comes with a blue silicone strap which features a pattern that resembles the steam that appears when Sabo unleashes his ‘Flame fist’. The strap fastens through the use of a standard buckle. The Functions: This timepiece is powered by Seiko’s 4R36 calibre movement, this supplies the watch with a battery life of approximately 41 hours. This automatic movement also has an accuracy of +45 / -35 seconds per day, it offers the ability of hand winding too. It is water resistant up to 100 metres, meaning that it can be worn when diving. This model is limited to just 1,500 pieces worldwide.
