HICONSUMPTION: Seiko and Rowing Blazers Bring Back Their Beloved Checkerboard Rally Diver For Summer

HICONSUMPTION recently wrote Seiko and Rowing Blazers Bring Back Their Beloved Checkerboard Rally Diver For Summer.

Wind spends his days dealing six-figure vintage pieces through Wind Vintage, but his origin story starts with a humble Seiko. The first vintage watch he ever bought was a 1969 Seiko 5 Sports Rally Diver, and the 2021 collab was a direct tribute to that very watch.

That original run was capped at a mere 500 pieces, and good luck finding one at retail since. So the 2,500-per-reference count this time around feels a bit less like generosity and perhaps more like a course correction.
