Rowing Blazers x Seiko

Rowing Blazers has teamed up with watch brand Seiko for a special capsule of three Seiko 5 Sports watches. Designed by founder and Creative Director Jack Carlson with Seiko’s creative team, one is a special edition and the other two are limited editions of 500. 

Each of the watches has a special case back emblazoned with one of Rowing Blazers' "house codes," a contemplative skeleton, as a reminder that time flies. Each watch also has a Rowing Blazers logo on the dial and comes in a special steel case in Rowing Blazers' signature zig-zag pattern, with both a bracelet and an alternative nylon military strap. 

The first watch collaboration from Rowing Blazers, the bezels are the really distinctive thing about the three watches. One has a “rally” bezel in homage to Seiko's archives. Another has a four-color red-blue-yellow-green bezel: to me, and the final watch has a zig-zag bezel -- one of Rowing Blazers' most distinctive motifs.

From £440 and available at Rowing Blazers.
