The Repco Supercars Championship is the leading Motorsport category in Australasia, with events taking place across Australia and New Zealand. Last year saw Seiko celebrate 10 years of partnership with the Repco Supercars Championship as the official timepiece of Australasia’s Premier Motorsports series. The category is renowned for its exciting racing and the closeness of competition, with millimetres and milliseconds often being the different between victory and despair. 2024 sees the continuation of the partnership between Seiko 5 Sports and the Repco Supercars Championship. To celebrate this legacy, Seiko have released the latest Seiko 5 Supercars Limited Edition, the SRPL01K.
The 2024 Supercars Limited Edition seamlessly blends a retro feel design with the unique landscape of the racetrack. The dial is black – reminiscent of the asphalt used on the high performance race track. The bold chequered flag pattern signifying victory on the bezel, fuses perfectly with the red hue of the inner ring, a distinctive colour associated with the Supercar series. The second hand is solid red to help keep track of time in low light, and the slender hands and hour markers incorporate Lumibrite application for night time use.
The Seiko 5 Sports SRPL01K is presented in a pillowed presentation box with a medallion, individually numbered signing off the authenticity of the timepiece. The custom box pays homage to the Supercars, with the silhouette of the steering wheel embedded on the top, with a see through screen revealing the Supercars watch. For added use, an additional silicone strap is included in a customised compartment when not in use. The Limited Edition exhibition case back and crown feature the iconic Supercars logo. The unique limited edition number is also etched onto the case back to commemorate the 2024 Supercar Season, matching the medallion.
As a re-creation of the 1969 piece, this model maintains the looks and black and white colour scheme. It features the same dial, 60s-style hands, and checkered bezel as the original. It also pays homage to the fan-favourite Seiko 5 Sports SKX case design.
The Limited Edition SRPL01K features a Black Stainless Steel case with a diameter of 42.5mm and thickness of 13.4mm. The lug-to-lug size is 46mm and it has a lug width is 22mm with an approximate weight of 170gm and 100gm with the Rubber strap. The SRPL01K features the Seiko hacking (stop seconds hand function) calibre 4R36 with automatic and manual winding functionality, a daily time tolerance of +45 / -35 seconds per day and a 41 hour power reserve.
The watch is rated as 100m / 10 bar WR and features lumibrite on the hands and markers, curved hardlex glass, a day and date display, a see-through case back and a unidirectional rotating bezel.
Classic Look with the famous Seiko finish. Form and Function combine seamlessly with this timepiece from Seiko. The Stainless Steel case watch features a Day & Date functionality and lumibrite hands and markers.
