Seiko 5 Sports has announced a collaboration model with the internationally acclaimed artist COIN PARKING DELIVERY. The watch will be limited to 1500 pieces worldwide and will be released on Friday, March 10, 2023.

Pay attention to the messages from the artists that are embedded throughout the piece

　Seiko 5 Sports, which will celebrate its 55th anniversary in 2023, is a casual watch brand that was launched in 1968.

　Equipped with a Japanese-made mechanical movement, the watches have gained popularity for their affordable pricing and design, and have been loved by people all over the world for nearly half a century. Even today, they continue to evolve in their own way in both function and design, and are offered in five collections based on the concept of "five styles" that symbolize the modern era in which diverse values ​​fly around.

　The new model announced this time is based on the popular SKX model from the collection, and has been uniquely customized in collaboration with COIN PARKING DELIVERY, an artist active on the world stage.

　Coin Parking Delivery is an artist who began his creative endeavors in 2018, when he began drawing pictures with his fingers on his smartphone while commuting by train. With a smartphone, an essential item for modern people, in hand, he creates works that incorporate the questions and ideals unique to the present era, earning him high praise both in Japan and overseas. In recent years, he has become known for constructing unique worlds in a variety of locations, not only through digital media but also through sculptures, spaces, drawings, and the exterior walls of public spaces overseas.

　This piece was designed to embodi his message of building his own unique world: "To those who mark time one step at a time towards the future."

　The dial is intentionally designed without numbers, reflecting the idea of ​​"not being bound by time." The index features his iconic characters, "Shirai-san" at 12 o'clock and "Katayama-san" at 6 o'clock, along with the "eNrOll" graphic, inspired by the eyes and mouth that control the transmission of human emotions.

　The vibrant blue dial features a mountain graphic that blends seamlessly into the design, symbolizing the idea of ​​"climbing life one step at a time." The case and bracelet are a gorgeous combination of gold and silver, creating a special edition that perfectly reflects the worldview he depicts.
