It’s no surprise to any regular Effortless Gent reader that Seiko is easily one of our top three favorite watch brands of all time.

You can get a dependable and good looking Seiko 5 automatic for under $100, or a Seiko Prospex diver for almost $1000. Looking for something more beautiful and rare? Grand Seiko watches can easily run between $5,000 – $10,000.

Seiko has sport watches, dress watches, minimal watches… automatic watches and quartz watches and digital watches… diving watches and chronographs… at practically every price point.

With a history as rich as the Seiko brand, and the breadth of their (multiple) lines, you’re bound to find something in the exact style and price you want, with the exact functionality you need.

This is the Seiko hub on Effortless Gent, the central place where you can find all our Seiko-related articles, as well as other watch articles that you may find interesting.

The Seiko 5 Sports Line

Back To Top

Seiko 5 is Seiko’s entry level line of mechanical watches. Don’t let the entry-level categorization fool you, though: these are solidly built watches with a plethora of styles. I’d be surprised if you can’t find a model you like.

The “5” stands for the five qualities every watch in this line has: Automatic winding, a day/date function, water resistance, an unbreakable mainspring (or Seiko’s proprietary Diaflex), and shock resistance (or Seiko’s proprietary Diashock).

Read on for a few of our Seiko 5-specific articles.
