Seiko has collaborated with Kodansha and Initial D creator Shuichi Shigeno to create a limited-edition chronograph watch commemorating the series' anniversary. The watch features a case design that balances modernity and wearability, with a panda-style dial mirroring the AE86's black-and-white color scheme. Details like the 'Fujiwara Tofu Shop' inscription and dashboard gauge-like subdials connect to the main character's journey as a street racer and delivery boy. The watch includes durable materials and precise quartz movement, emphasizing functionality alongside homage.
Measuring just shy of 40mm, the case size strikes a balance between classic and contemporary, designed to be both wearable and distinctive.
The panda-style dial—a reference to the AE86's iconic black-and-white paint job—goes beyond aesthetics, visual linking to Takumi's identity.
The subtle 'Fujiwara Tofu Shop' script printed near the 4 o'clock mark is a reminder of the protagonist's dual existence as delivery boy and street racer.
Seiko didn't just license a name and slap it on a case. This collaboration is embedded with intent.
