Seiko 5 Sports Pink Panther
Painting your wrist next spring
It’s just a coincidence, but we recently talked about the Seiko 5 Sports line in a year-end roundup (seen here). Now, if you’re not in a rush to get the watch, and/or you are simply a fan of the wily Pink Panther, the Seiko 5 Sports Pink Panther is going to be of interest.
Seiko 5 Sports Pink Panther: what it is
Well, it’s the Seiko 5 Sports that we’ve known since 2020 (when it supplanted the SKX line), which gives us a dive style watch (rather than an ISO-certified dive watch), so it should look and feel familiar. Fortunately, this is more than just slapping a coat of pink paint on the dial and bezel.
In fact, on the dial, you’ll see the Pink Panther’s paw prints embossed onto the dial. Flipping the watch over, you’ll see the Panther’s eyes staring down on the exhibition caseback, which features the classic logo and of course, a rosy hue.
Wrapping things up
This collaboration is indeed a limited edition. Only 9,999 of the watch will be made, with it being generally available in April 2026. If you want to get your own Seiko 5 Sports Pink Panther - which comes with both a bracelet and a nylon strap - it’ll run you $450.
