Seiko 5 Sports Gene Kranz Recreation Limited Edition Watch

This watch recreates a popular 1960s Seiko heritage design, nicknamed by Seiko fans after the original was worn by Eugene Kranz, prominent figure in American space history, Flight Director for Apollo 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17.

The original became a universal symbol in the watch-world for being the ultimate ‘tool watch,’ and it laid the foundations for the future of Seiko 5 Sports and SKX watches.

Similar to its 60s inspiration, it features a bi-directional bezel, the vintage Seiko 5 emblem logo on the silver tone dial with a black and white day-date feature and a multi-link bracelet for intricacy and sparkle.

Powered by the in-house built 4R36 automatic movement, this watch has a 40-hour power reserve. This watch is water resistant to 100m.

Seiko 5 Sports is known for over fifty years of reliability, durability, performance and value. ‘’5’’ represents the original five key features of every Seiko 5 still present today: Automatic movement, Day-date display, Water Resistance, Recessed crown and Durable case and strap.
