Seiko offers, without question, the most robust and varied collection of affordable automatic watches on the market under the 5 Sports umbrella.
This means you should lock up your wallet before looking at the deals Amazon is currently offering on the 5 Sports line, along with a few other classic Seiko references.
A modern classic
The Seiko 5 Sports collection consists of dive and field watches. It has dozens of references available at any given time, ranging from flashy and fun to reserved and classic. A steady flow of new general production models and collaborations ensures the collection is always fresh and interesting.
Seiko introduced the 5 Sports collection in 1968 as sporty tool watches focused on diving and auto racing. It has undergone a series of total overhauls in design aesthetics and movement incorporation since then.
The current 5 Sports collection blends design elements from the initial 1960s collections with the iconic Seiko SKX dive watches from the 1990s and 2000s. It includes arguably the best sub-$1,000 GMT, a no-bezel diver that doubles as a dress watch and a criminally underrated field watch.
