Provenance

Jack Carlson, Rowing Blazers Creative Director: “With our first Seiko collaboration last year, I was bowled over by the enthusiastic reception for our take on the iconic Seiko dive watch both within and beyond the watch community. When Seiko asked us to do another, I was inspired by my own 1970 Seiko 6106-7107 70m Sport Diver, with a bright orange dial. I also really wanted to have both Japanese and English days of the week, and to do something slightly smaller than last time.”

Eric Wind: “I first became aware of this smaller model with a smooth bezel two years ago. We quickly decided that this would be a great platform for the next Rowing Blazers x Seiko 5 Sports watch as we could focus on the dial and hands. We wanted to design a collection that reflected the spirit of Jack’s 6106-7107, using colors that are sporty, fun, and complementary. We kept the now-iconic ‘candy cane’ second hand and ‘Tempus Fugit’ case back from the first Rowing Blazers x Seiko collaboration.”
