Inspired by a timeless denim fabric, Seiko unveils a stylish watch with a denim-like allure

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.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.
