The Seiko 5 Sports watch is one of those timepieces that different partnerships have redefined.

Well, the most recent collaboration is between Seiko and a denim brand, which is popularly known as Denham. Denim has always been stylish, so this partnership is centered around the timeless fabric. For starters, some changes have been made to the Seiko Sports 5 watch to give it a denim-like allure.

According to Seiko and Denham, this timepiece should be a “jeanmaker’s watch,” and that’s the reason why it features different indigo shades, like those found in denim jeans. Every single element on this watch, from the dial to the strap, is characterized by indigo hues—which are considered to be the classical denim colors.

The indigo hue is complemented by a yellowish pattern that looks like stitches. The pattern is engraved on different elements, such as the dial and strap, to make the watch look more stylish.

Since Denham believes that “the truth is in the details,” it has put a lot of effort into this watch to push its main philosophy, which can be seen in the minor details.

That said, the dial is fitted with black markers, creating a subtle contrast between the main and complementary colors. At the 12 o’clock denotation, there’s a huge Denham logo—a representation of the partnership between the two brands.

Only 2000 pieces of the Seiko 5 Sports Denham model will be released into the market as a limited edition watch, each with a serial number.

Seiko will launch the watch in November 2024 and sell it at $430.

Ditch the 9-5 for adventure with a professional athlete (and the Citizen Promaster)
Celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Promaster by forging a new path

 When you look at your life, what are you working for? What do you do with your life that truly makes you happy? Professional athlete Jeff Shapiro spends his time chasing the ultimate rush as a professional pilot, rock climber, base jumper, falconer, and virtually everything else you could possibly dream of doing while sitting behind your computer. He is the kind of presence that you see while doom scrolling Instagram, dreaming of the same life. But he believes that you can do it just the same as him, as long as you can adjust your mindset from what society tells you you need and can get your hands on a Citizen Promaster. 
When the Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said, "Man surprised me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then, he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present, the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die and then dies having never really lived." We got a chance to sit down with Jeff and ask him why he leads the unconventional life...why he left the 9-5...and how we can follow in his footsteps. Also, do we need to dress like Indiana Jones if we're spiriting off for adventure? Asking for a friend.

We're a fan of men's style. We're a fan of science. So when the two collide in stellar innovation, we can nerd out a little bit. DUER, an innovative denim company that we have spoken to before, found a way to catch our attention again with a scientific innovation in their new Performance Flannel that not only regulates your temperature and feels great, but uses an honest to God Nobel Prize-winning fiber to do so.

"Graphene caught our attention as a Nobel prize-winning nano-fiber with exceptional performance properties that don’t impact a fabric’s weight, breathability, or soft feel," said Gary Lennett, CEO of DUER. "We’ve integrated graphene into our Performance Flannel to provide enhanced thermal regulation— keeping you warm when it’s cold, and cool when it’s hot. Added to that, it fights static and keeps clothing fresh longer, marking a significant step in the future of textiles."
