Every detail of this watch is designed to embody the Super Cub, and it all starts with the dial. It looks like the silhouette of the Super Cub, as you’d see it from the front, and the indexes represent the headlights and blinkers. Surrounding the face is a unidirectional rotating bezel. Look more closely, and you’ll see a fuel gauge engraved on the surface of the crown.
This model’s back is equally as impressive as its face. Here you’ll find a red-colored window that bears the Super Cub emblem and the words “Limited Edition”, along with the serial number. Seiko will make 6,000 of these watches and 5,000 of another gray and black version called the SRPJ75, which will launch in February 2023. Both versions come in a special box that features the Super Cub logo and color design.
The celebration of this iconic motorcycle never seems to end, and you’ll find more Super Cub and Honda logos on the green and cream nylon strap. The SRPJ49 will retail for around $400, and the SRPJ75 will cost about $40 more. That’s not much more than your average Seiko 5, at least when it’s not on sale. But if you like the style of these watches and they’re priced out of your budget, consider the Seiko 5 Stainless Steel Watch or 5 Nylon Strap. Let us know if you’ll celebrate the motorcycle that’s undoubtedly covered the most miles in history with a new watch from Seiko.
