"The watch comes in two dial colors - "gray and blue inspired by the Los Angeles Dodgers' visiting uniform," with only 1,700 watches available in each color, a nod to Ohtani's No. 17 jersey. In honor of the back-to-back World Series champion and MVP, the watch also has gold accents on the "bezel, crown, hands, and indices." Ohtani's No. 17 is also on the crown, and the clasp features his signature."
"Unfortunately for many fans in Southern California, the watch will be available for purchase at stores in Japan beginning April 24, with Seiko's website indicating it's "Japan-limited." It sells for 286,000 yen, which equates to more than $1,800. Of course, that figure doesn't include the cost of shipping from Japan or a plane ticket to go pick it up yourself."
"The two-way star is on an enormous $700 million contract, but with much of that payment deferred by the team, Ohtani has been ubiquitous in the endorsement space. He earned more endorsement money than any athlete last year, and he's expanded into new areas as well. From being the first player ever to join the 50-50 club in 2024 to boasting a three home run, 10 strikeout game in the playoffs in 2025, Ohtani has proven he's worth the enormous contract."
Seiko announced a special Seiko Prospex watch celebrating Shohei Ohtani's achievements with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The watch is based on the Divers 1965 Heritage Model and features gray and blue dials inspired by the Dodgers' visiting uniform, with only 1,700 watches produced in each color referencing Ohtani's No. 17 jersey. The timepiece includes gold accents on the bezel, crown, hands, and indices, Ohtani's number on the crown, and his signature on the clasp and special box. The watch will be available exclusively at Japanese retailers beginning April 24, priced at 286,000 yen (over $1,800). Ohtani's endorsement deals have expanded significantly, reflecting his major impact on baseball and the Dodgers organization.
