SEIKO 5 WATCHES Mod. 'Gene Kranz' SRPL91K1

This exceptional timepiece recreates a beloved 1960s Seiko heritage design, affectionately nicknamed by Seiko enthusiasts after the original was worn by Eugene Kranz—the prominent figure in American space history who served as Flight Director for Apollo missions 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17. His legendary leadership during these historic space missions made him an icon in aerospace history.

The original watch became a universal symbol in the horological world as the ultimate 'tool watch,' establishing the foundational principles that would shape the future of Seiko 5 Sports and SKX watches. True to its 1960s inspiration, this recreation features a bi-directional bezel, the vintage Seiko 5 emblem logo on a sophisticated silver-tone dial with distinctive black and white day-date display, and an intricate multi-link bracelet that creates captivating light play and sparkle. Powered by the in-house 4R36 automatic movement with 41-hour power reserve and 100-meter water resistance, this watch embodies over fifty years of Seiko 5 Sports reliability, durability, performance, and value. The '5' represents the original five key features present in every Seiko 5: automatic movement, day-date display, water resistance, recessed crown, and durable case and strap construction.
