Did you know the Seiko 5 Sports line has been around for 55 years? Well, it sure has, friends! And to celebrate that mark, they’ve combined with another icon – the Peanuts – to release two very special editions.
The first, the SRPK25, is a classic dive-watch look, with snoopy taking up residence on the dial with his surfboard, as well as catching some waves on the caseback. If you prefer to think of Snoopy as the Flying Ace, then you’ll want to take a look at the SRPK27, which is a Flieger-style look, with Snoopy using his ears to become a helicopter, with Woodstock parachuting down on the caseback.
What’s also fun about these pieces is that Charles Schulz’s hand-drawn script is used from the writing on the dial and the caseback, further cementing these additions. The astute eye will also notice that the crowns are signed, but by none other than Snoopy himself.
If you want to get one of these, you’ll need to find them at a retail location sometime this month or next. The SRPK25 will be available for $425, while the SRPK27 will be $400. seikowatches.com
