The beating heart of these cool looking watches is the trusty Seiko 4R36, a Japanese-made 24-jewel automatic with hacking, hand-winding, day/date, and 40 hours of power reserve. The 42.5 x 46 x 13.4mm case is stout, robust, and boasts a 120-click uni-directional bezel, a crown off-set at four, and 100m of water resistance. While the six watches are as different from each other as night and day, each one of these Seiko 5 Sports Street Fighter V Limited Edition Watches are built upon the same format. Each character and their respective signature move is also commemorated on the case-back, floating over the movement. Each one is tailored to the specific character and they aren’t simple nods either, there are plenty of Easter Eggs for the real die-hard Street Fighter fans. Each watch has new dial textures, radical bezel inserts, vibrant colours, and entirely new index designs.
Even its sound effects, such as that of the fireball thrown by two of the original characters, will evoke memories of a golden age of video gaming and these watches are a celebration of that fact.įor this top notch collab, six of the most popular Street Fighter characters were picked to be personified in watch form but it wasn’t just a matter of changing the colourways, these timepieces have been pushed to the extreme to bring their respective characters to life. The characters from Street Fighter are often as well known as those from famous cartoons and movies. The Seiko 5 Sports Street Fighter V Limited Edition Watches are right up our street here at The Coolector given our love of the source material.

Launched in the late ’80s, Street Fighter set the standard for the “Fighter Game” format and served as the catalyst for this great looking series of watches. The second is one of the most iconic video game franchises in the history of gaming. These timepieces are a mash-up of two true icons – firstly is the watch, a rugged sports timepiece based on the beloved SKX007 design. In the history of timepiece crossovers, we’re not sure if there has even been one as exciting as this one from Seiko and they’re already flying off the shelves amongst videogaming aficionados. These Seiko 5 Sports Street Fighter V Limited Edition Watches are limited to just 9,999 pieces per fighter worldwide so they’ll definitely sell out fast and you’ll need to move quickly if you’re hoping to get one on your wrist this summer.
Six of the game’s most recognisable characters have been immortalised in these striking timepieces – namely, Ryu, Blanka, Ken, Chun-Li, Zangief and Guile – so if your favourite character is one of the chosen few, you’re in luck.
