Seiko 5 Sports SKX “Popeye” HDB013J Limited Edition Automatic Watch – Orange Dial, 38 mm, 100 m WR, Made in Japan (JDM)

Product Description

Combining the iconic silhouette of the SKX case with the adventurous spirit of classic animation’s most famous sailor, the Seiko 5 Sports SKX “Popeye” Limited Edition HDB013J blends the legacy of recreational diving with a pop aesthetic that holds high collectible value.

Its striking, vibrant orange dial pays direct homage to Seiko’s historic tradition of orange divers, ensuring a striking contrast with the applied hour markers and oversized hands treated with powerful luminescent material. The stainless steel case features the acclaimed compact mid-size design with a 38.0 mm diameter and a crown positioned at 4 o’clock, offering impeccable ergonomics and an extremely comfortable fit on any wrist. Inside beats the reliable in-house 4R36 automatic caliber, featuring a hacking seconds function, manual winding, and a dual date display (day and date). Backed by 100-meter water resistance (10 bar), anti-magnetic protection, and a soft-to-the-touch, waterproof black silicone strap, this piece is a limited edition produced entirely in Japan (JDM) for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese watchmaking.
