New York based clothing brand Rowing Blazers is teaming up with Seiko for the fourth time this week, and once again, our friends at Wind Vintage have jumped in to help create the unique design for a pair of Seiko 5 Sports Rally Divers. Fans of the previous collaborations between this lot will find a familiar design at work here, brought to life in both 38mm and 42mm case sizes. Once again, color plays a big role in defining the personalities of these watches, along with the checkered bezel insert, and a new caseback design featuring Rowing Blazer’s faucet “Bath Club” motif.
Seiko collabs are numerous and diverse, but they are rarely boring, and for that we can thank the Japanese brand’s willingness to let their partners explore a broad set of themes. This generally leads to more compelling results, even if some end up being polarizing. When it comes to working with the likes of Rowing Blazers and Eric Wind, the watches not only reflect the stylish nature of the players involved, but also their genuine passion for the brand. “Growing up, my dad’s daily driver watches were Seiko watches, and the first vintage watch I ever purchased was a vintage Seiko 5 Sports Rally Diver from 1969.” says Eric Wind.
The watches themselves pick up on the same themes seen in previous editions, which means big colors and bold graphics incorporated into the design. The reference SRPM21 boasts a dark green dial set into a 38mm steel case, and gets a green checkered bezel insert. The larger reference SRPM19 uses a rich blue dial with a blue checkered bezel insert within a 42mm steel case. Both of the dials receive the Rowing Blazers logo at six o’clock, as well as a red and green seconds hand. The rest is pretty standard Seiko 5 diver stuff, with a 4R36 cranking away inside.
One other unique detail about these watches is the Rowing Blazer’s faucet “Bath Club” motif rendered on the transparent caseback. This sits alongside the Wind Vintage and Seiko logos representing all parties involved. Both watches will come with both a color complimentary (green with blue; blue with green) fabric passthrough strap, as well as a steel bracelet within a unique box. Both references are limited to 2,500 units, which might sound like a lot, but considering the cult like popularity of all three players here, there is no shortage of interest.
The capsule launches Thursday, July 9, 2026, at 11am ET on the Rowing Blazers and Seiko USA websites, and a small amount will be available for purchase at the Rowing Blazers retail store in New York. Pricing is set at $495 for both watches. Wind Vintage / Rowing Blazers / Seiko
