The Seiko 5 Sports SRPM09K1 HUF Limited Edition stands as a powerful collaboration between two icons of their respective worlds Seiko 5 Sports and HUF, the globally respected streetwear label founded by Keith Hufnagel. Limited to 7,000 pieces worldwide, this March 2026 release blends vintage inspiration with contemporary urban aesthetics, delivering a collectible timepiece that commands attention.
Designed on the foundation of the celebrated Seiko 5 Sports Field Series, this limited edition reinterprets the archival 1970s “Time Sonar” model with a bold twist introducing the signature HUF Green into the dial architecture for the first time in Seiko history.
A Heritage Reimagined – Inspired by the 1970s “Time Sonar”
The original “Time Sonar” from the 1970s was renowned for its experimental semi-transparent dial. With the SRPM09K1, we revisit that revolutionary spirit and elevate it with modern craftsmanship and street-inspired detailing.
The semi-transparent dial reveals the mechanical artistry beneath, creating depth and dimension rarely seen in field watches. Infused with the vibrant HUF Green, the dial radiates individuality while maintaining legibility and structure. This color was never present in the original Time Sonar, making this collaboration truly exclusive.
The subtle yet striking “huf” logo positioned at 6 o’clock enhances the authenticity of the partnership, merging skate culture identity with Japanese watchmaking precision.
Distinctive Case Back – A Collector’s Signature
Turning the watch over reveals one of its most compelling elements: the see-through exhibition case back finished in matching HUF Green.
The case back features:
- San Francisco-inspired graphic artwork, paying homage to HUF’s birthplace
- LIMITED EDITION engraving
- Individually engraved serial number
- Screw-down construction for durability
Each piece carries its own unique serial number, reinforcing exclusivity and collectability. As with many mechanical watches, slight orientation differences in the case back engraving may occur adding character to every individual timepiece.
