Old Seiko 5 sports logo

 

In 1968 when it first went on sale, the 5 stood for the following five points.

1. Automatic winding
2. Waterproof
3. Day-date display
4. Dia Flex（unbreakable spring）
5. Dia shock (It won't break even when dropped）
(According to The Seiko Book / Tokuma Shoten）

 

This is the same SEIKO 5 Sports with a newly designed logo.

 

 

The meaning of the 5 has also changed.
The new meaning of 5 is as follows:

 

1. Automatic winding
2. Waterproof
3. Day-date display at 3 o'clock
4. Crown at 4 o'clock
5. Durable case & band

 

Seiko has also introduced the military-style SEIKO 5 Sports.

 

Although it is SEIKO 5 Sports, it also unfortunately has the crown at the 3 o’clock position. That aside, it still turned out really cool.

 

The Military style comes standard with the crown at the 3 o’clock position, so lets let that one slide.

-- About Day-date display --

This model has both English and Japanese(Kanji) day wheels. (switching by a crown)

English: MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, SUN

Japanese: 月、火、水、木、金、土、日
