Introducing: The Seiko 5 Sports 140th Anniversary Limited Edition SRPG47 (Live Pics & Pricing) - HODINKEE

Based on the same Seiko 5 Sports range I dug into for this Week On The Wrist, the SRPG47 is a diver-effect sports watch produced in a limited edition of 11,000 units

That number is so big that I'm not sure I've ever seen a larger shared production number for a limited edition

In the past, I've teased Omega for making 7,007 of some Bond-themed watch, but Seiko is going with the nice, round number of 11,000

All that being said, even for Seiko, 11,000 is not all that limited

I spent time with around a dozen Seiko 5 Sports SRPD models, and I feel they are best when they stick to the basics

To that end, the myriad options one has in versions of the new Seiko 5s ensures a somewhat specific entry point to the Seiko brand and, if you're looking for a handsome and capable Seiko that is *technically* a limited edition, the blue and white nicely suits the SRPD/SRPG shape
