In celebration of its 55th anniversary, the esteemed Japanese watchmaker, Seiko, has unveiled a special collaboration with the renowned Japanese automobile manufacturer, Honda—the Seiko 5 Sports 55th Anniversary Super Cub Limited Edition.

This watch features bold and muted blue colors with orange accents, giving it a strong and dynamic look inspired by the legendary Super Cub, one of the world's most-produced motorcycles of all time. It combines modern aesthetics with the classic design of the original 1958 Super Cub, capturing the spirit of adventure in every detail.

At its core, the timepiece is powered by the Caliber 4R36 automatic movement and is infused with the original bike's design elements, evoking a sense of rugged adventure and open-road freedom. The dial captures the Super Cub silhouette, while LumiBrite-treated indexes echo the headlights and blinkers of the motorcycle. Additionally, the Super Cub's wing mark adorns the watch's crown, adding a touch of authenticity to the timepiece. On each case back, you can find the two-wheeler's emblem and the words “LIMITED EDITION.”
