A Tribute to Space-Age Bravery:
- In the 1960s, an era defined by discovery and daring, one watch became a quiet hero. Worn by Gene Kranz, NASA’s legendary Flight Director who guided Apollo missions including 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17, the original Seiko earned its reputation among watch enthusiasts as the ultimate tool watch. It symbolised precision, resilience, and reliability — qualities essential for those exploring new frontiers.
- Today, Seiko celebrates that legacy with this Seiko 5 Sports 1960s “Gene Kranz” Reissue, faithfully recreating the spirit of the original, while enhancing it with modern engineering.
