Seiko’s New Yellow Sports Watch Is a Celebration of a Surprising Honda Icon

2 min readJapanese watchmaker Seiko nails its collaborations every single time, and the latest one takes one of its signature sports watches to new heights. This time, the brand has collaborated with Honda to commemorate 45 years of the Honda Motocompo, the car manufacturer's now-iconic folding scooter.The limited-edition piece pays tribute to the ultra-compact Motocompo with a compact design of its own (in a 36mm case), plus color choices and small details that reference the scooter. It's bright yellow with sharp black lines just like on the Motocompo, and features the Honda logo at 9 o’clock, with “AUTOMATIC” printed in retro-futuristic font above 6 o’clock .Seiko.The caseback also features a layer of red paint, just like the accents of the Motocompo scooter, and a limited-edition engraving. Even the strap gets in on the game, with “carrying point” and “insertion point” text that references the instructions for users of the original scooter who wanted to secure the folded-down vehicle in the trunk of a Honda City car.As is always the case with Seiko, this may be a design-first collaboration but it doesn't compromise on the technical assets. It has luminated indices, an automatic movement, water resistance, and high durability, as is always promised by the Seiko 5 line.It’s limited to 8,000 pieces and Seiko’s U.S. website notes a September 2026 release. Though pricing isn’t yet confirmed for the States, we know the UK price is £340. Perfectly standard for a Seiko 5 Sports, and even more of a steal for a distinctive, limited-edition piece.
