Seiko turns 145 in 2026, and it’s marking the milestone the way it always marks the big ones: with a release wave that runs from a $385 field watch all the way up to a titanium GPS chronograph that costs nearly $3,000.
The thread tying them together is history. Seiko built Japan’s first wristwatch in 1913, its first diver’s watch in 1965, and the world’s first quartz watch in 1969, and almost every piece below borrows from that timeline, whether it’s the return of “Seiko Blue” or a reissued 1965 dive case.
Here are the eight new Seiko watches landing this year, sorted from the most affordable to the most expensive, so you can find the one that fits your wrist and your budget.
1. Seiko 5 Sports Field in green: The $385 way in
This is the cheapest way into Seiko’s anniversary lineup, and it’s the green field watch the headline promised. The 5 Sports line has quietly become Seiko’s gateway automatic, and a field dial is the easiest way to wear one every day without babying it.
Price: $385
Where to Buy: Seiko
On paper it’s the HDB008, the khaki-green nylon-strap version of Seiko’s 2026 5 Sports Field Series. It runs the workhorse 4R36 automatic with a 41-hour power reserve inside a 41mm steel case that’s 13.2mm thick, with a Hardlex crystal, 100m of water resistance, and a compass bezel built for the trail. Worth flagging for the editor: this is a standard-production model, not a 145th anniversary limited edition like the rest of this list.
If you’re new to mechanical watches or you just want something you won’t worry about on a hike, start here. It’s the only sub-$500 piece in the group, and it does the most for the money.
2. Seiko Prospex “Samurai” 145th Anniversary HBB001: Seiko Blue for $595
Price: $595 (About €650)
Where to Buy: Seiko
The Samurai is the diver enthusiasts keep asking Seiko to bring back, and the HBB001 dresses it in the brand’s signature blue for the anniversary. You’re paying $210 more than the field watch, and you’re getting real dive credentials for it.
Under the hood sits Seiko’s 4R35 automatic, and the case is rated to 200m. The dial is a “Silvertone” finish with Seiko Blue accents, framed by a two-tone aluminum bezel that runs silver across the 0 to 15 minute scale and blue the rest of the way around. It’s a limited edition of 9,999 pieces, and it measures 41.7mm wide and 12.3mm thick.
This is the sweet spot for most buyers. It’s priced like Seiko’s entry automatics but it carries the 145th anniversary story, the sword-sharp case, and 200m of water resistance you’ll actually use.
3. Seiko Presage Classic Series “Shiro-neri” HCC004: Silk on the wrist for $1,000
Price: $1,000
Where to Buy: Seiko
This is where the lineup turns dressy. The Shiro-neri name comes from shironeri, a refined white Japanese silk, and the dial’s radial pattern evokes the texture of raw silk yarn. At four figures, it’s the piece you wear with a jacket, not on a dive.
The case measures 36mm wide and 12.5mm thick in stainless steel with a super-hard coating, topped by a dual-curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The Shironeri white dial carries its silk-inspired texture over a 6R51 automatic movement good for a 72-hour power reserve, and the watch is water resistant to 100m. It ships on a Leather Working Group certified leather strap with a folding clasp, as a limited edition of 2,500 pieces.
The 36mm case keeps it classic and wrist-friendly, and the three-day power reserve means it survives a weekend off your wrist. If you want one elegant Seiko that reads as craft rather than tool, this is it.
4. Seiko Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver: A 300m reissue around $1,400
Price: Around $1,400
Where to Buy: Seiko
This is the “retro diver” the headline flagged, a modern take on the 1965 original that started Seiko’s whole dive-watch story. It costs about $400 more than the Presage, and the extra money buys depth rating and power reserve.
It’s the HBC005, a modern reissue of Seiko’s 1965 diver, rated to 300m and built around the in-house 6R55 automatic with a 72-hour (three-day) power reserve. The 40mm case carries a curved sapphire crystal and a silver-white dial, and a blue aluminum bezel insert plus a blue seconds hand tie it to the rest of the anniversary line. It arrives as a limited edition of 4,000 pieces.
For collectors, this is the emotional pick of the eight. It’s the most historically loaded case Seiko makes, now rated to 300m, and it sits right under the flagship Astron on price.
5. Seiko Astron GPS Solar Dual-Time Chronograph HAB003: The $2,600 way into GPS
Price: $2,600
Where to Buy: Seiko
The Astron is the top of the range, and it’s the most technical thing Seiko sells: it pulls a time signal from GPS, runs on light, and never needs a battery change. The HAB003 is the most affordable way in, with a black dial dressed up by a gold-colored inner bezel ring, indexes, and hands, and it’s the one Astron here that ships on a black silicone strap rather than a bracelet.
Like every Astron in this group, it uses a titanium case that’s 43.4mm wide and 12.4mm thick, capped with sapphire and rated to 100m. The 5X63 GPS Solar caliber holds about six months of power reserve on a full charge and handles dual time, world time, a perpetual calendar, a chronograph, and the day and date. If you want the brand’s smartest travel watch for the least money, this is the entry point.
6. Seiko Astron GPS Solar Dual-Time Chronograph HAB001: The clean blue-gray one for $2,700
Price: $2,700
Where to Buy: Seiko
The HAB001 is the cleanest of the four, with a blue-gray dial on a full titanium bracelet. It runs the same 5X63 GPS Solar caliber and shares the 43.4mm titanium case, sapphire crystal, and 100m rating, so the real decision between it and its siblings is the look. The quick-change system lets you pop the bracelet off for a strap without tools, which makes this the most versatile pick of the set.
7. Seiko Astron GPS Solar Dual-Time Chronograph HAB002: The stealth black one for $2,700
Price: $2,700
Where to Buy: Seiko
The HAB002 is the HAB001’s darker twin: the same titanium case, bracelet, and GPS Solar movement, but with a stealthier black dial. At $2,700 it sits right alongside the blue-gray model, so pick this one if you want the lowest-key version of Seiko’s flagship without giving up any of the technology.
8. Seiko Astron GPS Solar Dual-Time Chronograph HAB004: The $2,900 commemorative flagship
Price: $2,900
Where to Buy: Seiko
The HAB004 is the watch the whole Astron update is built around, the commemorative 145th anniversary edition limited to 2,000 pieces. It carries the same titanium case, sapphire crystal, 100m rating, and 5X63 GPS Solar caliber as the rest, with anniversary dressing and the lowest production run of the four. The titanium keeps a 43.4mm watch light enough to wear all day, and the six-month power reserve means it’s ready whenever you are. If you travel and you want the most collectible version of Seiko’s best technology, this is the splurge that earns it.
How to choose your 145th anniversary Seiko
If you want the most watch for the least money, the $385 5 Sports Field is the clear call. If you want one piece that captures the anniversary without going four figures, the $595 Samurai HBB001 is the pick most people should make. Spending more buys character: the $1,000 Shiro-neri for dress wear, the $1,400 1965 reissue for dive heritage, and the Astron quartet for travelers who want the brand’s best technology on their wrist.
