Singapore – December 16, 2025 – Watch enthusiasts and collectors across Southeast Asia have been waiting with bated breath, and the time has finally arrived. Seiko’s highly anticipated winter-sports-inspired Seiko 5 Sports models, which sparked considerable buzz upon their announcement earlier this month, have officially landed. The Japanese watchmaking giant has confirmed that the two exclusive references, SRPM11K1 and SRPM13K1, are now in stock and ready for purchase at the Seiko boutique in Singapore, marking their official rollout in select regional markets.
This launch isn't just about new watches; it's about securing a piece of a very exclusive collection. Both timepieces are designated as Thong Sia Group exclusives, meaning their availability is tightly controlled within specific territories. With a price tag of SGD 473.10 (approximately $367) and a strict regional production limit of just 1,000 pieces, these are set to become instant collector’s items for fans of accessible, tool-watch aesthetics with a vibrant twist.
Under the Hood: Trusted Seiko 5 Sports DNA
For those familiar with the revamped Seiko 5 Sports lineup, the core specifications will feel reassuringly robust. Both models share the same rugged foundation:
Case: A 42.5mm stainless steel case, offering a classic, wrist-friendly diver-style presence.
Bracelet: A sturdy matching stainless steel bracelet completes the tool-watch look.
Water Resistance: A solid 100-meter rating, making it more than capable for swimming and snorkeling.
Movement: The heart is Seiko's reliable workhorse, the automatic Caliber 4R36. It offers the convenience of hand-winding and hacking (stopping the seconds hand for precise time-setting) and boasts a 41-hour power reserve.
Crystal & Caseback: The dial is protected by Seiko’s proprietary Hardlex mineral crystal, a durable choice, though some may have hoped for sapphire at this price point. A see-through exhibition caseback allows a view of the automatic movement at work.
Where the Magic Happens: A Duel of Daring Dials
The true character of these limited editions shines through in their bold color schemes, a deliberate nod to the deep, rich hues of winter landscapes.
The Seiko 5 Sports SRPM11K1 makes a striking statement with a vibrant purple dial, complemented by a matching purple bezel insert. It’s an unconventional, head-turning choice that stands out from the sea of blues and blacks.
The Seiko 5 Sports SRPM13K1 offers a more earthy, sophisticated tone with a warm brown dial and bezel combination, evocative of leather and winter foliage.
Both watches elevate their design with a subtle grid-like texture on the dial, enhancing legibility and visual depth under different lights. Luminous, applied hour markers and a practical day-date window at the 3 o’clock position complete the functional, sporty look.
Exclusivity and Availability: Key Details for Collectors
As confirmed by the official product listings on the Seiko Singapore boutique site, these watches are now ready for immediate purchase. Interested buyers can view the models here:
A couple of intriguing questions remain for collectors. The listings do not specify if each watch features individual numbering on the caseback. Furthermore, it’s unclear whether the 1,000-piece limitation is split between the two models (500 each) or applies to the pair collectively. What is clear is that these are strictly regional releases for now, with availability confirmed for Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, and Brunei under the Thong Sia Group umbrella. Seiko has not announced any plans for additional color variants or wider international distribution at this stage.
For those seeking a more globally accessible option in the Seiko 5 Sports line, the popular Seiko 5 Sports SSK001 remains a fantastic choice and is available through major retailers. You can check the latest price and availability for the Seiko 5 Sports SSK001 on Amazon here.
The Bottom Line
Seiko has once again demonstrated its knack for delivering high-value, characterful watches with the SRPM11K1 and SRPM13K1. By combining the trusted mechanics of the 5 Sports line with limited-edition exclusivity and daring, seasonally-inspired colors, these watches are poised to fly off the shelves. For collectors in Southeast Asia looking for a sporty watch that breaks the monotony, the hunt begins now.
