- Before the gunshot, before the surge of sails, there’s tension, precision, and countdown. Yacht racing begins not at the line, but in the final five minutes before it, where timing is everything.
- In the early 1960s, Swiss brand Aquastar transformed that charged anticipation into horological art. Founded as a spin-off of JeanRichard, Aquastar patented a five-minute regatta countdown in 1961, then unveiled the Aquastar Regate, the first wristwatch with five colourful “dots” tracking the tense pre-start sequence. It became the blueprint for every regatta watch that followed.
- By the late ’60s, Seiko joined the race. Their answer: the Seiko 5 Sports 6119-6050, affectionately nicknamed the “Regatta.” With its vibrant blue-green-orange accents, dual rotating bezel, and robust case architecture, it fused sport utility with eye-catching style, embodying Seiko’s drive to democratise innovation. Today, surviving originals are prized by collectors for their rarity, character, and place in Seiko’s adventurous golden age.
- The new Seiko 5 Sports SRPK13K1 revives that spirit. It doesn’t mimic the mechanical countdown, instead, it channels the palette, charisma, and confidence of the 6119 era. Bold colours meet refined engineering; retro soul meets everyday wearability. Inside beats Seiko’s trusted 4R36 automatic, giving modern precision to a design born of 1960s imagination.
- Wear it, and you don’t just tell time, you tell a story of racing the wind, of sport and spirit, of Seiko’s fearless pursuit of fun and function.
- Pays tribute to Seiko’s beloved late-1960s Sports line, a firm fan favourite among vintage enthusiasts.
- The overall look combines newness and heritage – a newly designed dial and hands from the Retro Colour Collection meet the bold personality of the past.
- The case is based on the iconic SKX series, while the bezel echoes original 1960s models.
- Engraved ‘Special Edition’ caseback marks its collectable status.
- Inspired by the 6119-6050 “Regatta Timer”, bringing colour and character from Seiko’s sailing legacy into today.
- Powered by Seiko’s in-house 4R36 automatic movement with manual winding.

- For over 50 years, Seiko 5 Sports watches have stood for reliability, durability, performance, and value.
- The legendary “5” represents the five core features that remain today.
- Automatic Movement • Day-Date Display • Water Resistance • Recessed Crown • Durable Case & Bracelet.
- Limited, distinctive, and deeply rooted in Seiko’s adventurous spirit, the SRPK13K1 captures a chapter of watchmaking history. It’s not just a nod to the regatta era, it’s a wearable celebration of colour, heritage, and the joy of competition.
