The other notable feature of the Bruce Lee Limited Edition is the bezel, which features characters that represent the principles of Jeet Kune Do, the hybrid martial art that Lee developed. Roughly translated, the characters read “Using no way as way; having no limitation as limitation.” Seiko has chosen a black leather strap for the watch that is meant to conjure clothing associated with kung fu, and it features the same dragon motif on the reverse side as seen on the dial. The 42.5mm case is black coated, giving the whole package a stealthy effect, and it comes in a limited edition box that has gold accents that match what’s seen on the dial.
The Seiko 5 Sports Bruce Lee Limited Edition will be available in October at Seiko boutiques and selected retailers worldwide. The retail price is set at €520. Seiko is producing 15,000 units, which seems like a large number for a “limited” edition watch, but Bruce Lee is a revered figure worldwide among cinephiles and martial artists, so it’s likely there will be significant interest in a watch paying tribute to his life.
