ItР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs the same reason our parents were snatching up tickets to Fleetwood Mac reunion tours at around the same time - everything old is new again, and we all share a basic desire to relive what we love from the past on some basic, essential level.Р вЂ™Р’В And so it is with video games, which provide a nostalgic link to the previous generation, while simultaneously looking forward as the characters we all love are introduced and reinvented for a modern audience. ItР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs no wonder that iconography from the time period is having something of a moment now, in 2020, as the kids who grew up with Michael JordanР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs Chicago Bulls, Quentin TarantinoР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs first films, and Friends begin to reach middle age. Scary but true: weР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћre as far away from the 90s as we were from the 60s thirty short years ago. For gaming fans of a certain age, these watches are sure to bring back a ton of memories, while new enthusiasts and gamers create new ones with Street Fighter V. Street Fighter is now the leading fighting game in the esports field, being played and viewed by millions of gamers across the world. For anyone on the hunt for a watch that will turn heads this summer, these great looking offerings from Seiko tick all the right boxes and an essential purchase for fans of the Street Fighter franchise.Today, Seiko 5 Sports is introducing six new watches that take inspiration from Street Fighter V, the latest version of the classic, genre-defining fighting game first released in 1987. The beating heart of these cool looking watches is the trusty Seiko 4R36, a Japanese-made 24-jewel automatic with hacking, hand-winding, day/date, and 40 hours of power reserve. The 42.5 x 46 x 13.4mm case is stout, robust, and boasts a 120-click uni-directional bezel, a crown off-set at four, and 100m of water resistance.

While the six watches are as different from each other as night and day, each one of these Seiko 5 Sports Street Fighter V Limited Edition Watches are built upon the same format.

Each character and their respective signature move is also commemorated on the case-back, floating over the movement. Each one is tailored to the specific character and they arenР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt simple nods either, there are plenty of Easter Eggs for the real die-hard Street Fighter fans. Each watch has new dial textures, radical bezel inserts, vibrant colours, and entirely new index designs. Even its sound effects, such as that of the fireball thrown by two of the original characters, will evoke memories of a golden age of video gaming and these watches are a celebration of that fact.Р вЂќР вЂЎor this top notch collab, six of the mostР вЂ™Р’В popular Street Fighter characters were picked to be personified in watch form but it wasnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt just a matter of changing the colourways, these timepieces have been pushed to the extreme to bring their respective characters to life. The characters from Street Fighter are often as well known as those from famous cartoons and movies. The Seiko 5 Sports Street Fighter V Limited Edition Watches are right up our street here at The Coolector given our love of the source material.
