Here are some Seiko 130th Anniversary models for the Seiko 5 line that I saw in a catalog. They are powered by the new 4R36 automatic movement with hack and handwind features.
Shown above is a model with world time bezel. Model number is SRP132. This model looks a bit like the Fifty-five Fathoms model.
Below are two regular editions for this model.
Next is another 100m model, SRP162. This one looks does not come with rotating bezel as I can see from the picture. Those lugs remind me of Omega.
Here are the regular editions.
Here’s a more chunky model, SRP172J and its regular models. i suspect this model will be more popular than the first two.
Note that I have only shown two regular editions per model. There are other colour variants which I didn’t take photo.

Hi Thomas,
Great to be back. Moved to a different company and just recently subscribed again with my new details. Thanks for the catalog shots and pictures. I was able to do my own mini review of the SRP170K1. It’s not an LE model, but IMHO has one of the best case/bezel/dial combinations of the new series. Hope you don’t mind if I share the link:

Looking forward to following your blog closely again.
Cheers!

Congrats Jun. That is the nicest among the four. I like the colour combination especially the gold minute chapter ring. Thanks for sharing your review.
Cheers,

Thanks Adam.
Btw, I did not see any 7S or 4R 200m diver on the catalog.
Hi Thomas,
You seem to be the first to reveal these new watches. Thanks for the effort. Any indication of when stock will arrive in Singapore?
Best regards,
Kenny
Hi Kenny,
No exact dates but since most of the JDM 130th anniversary models have been released, I think these Seiko 5 models will be released anytime.
Best regards,
Thomas
Hi again Thomas,
Any indication of a Superior range using 4R movements that you have seen?
Best Regards,
Kenny
Hi Kenny,
Don’t remember seeing any 4R Superior models on the catalog.
Best regards,
Thomas
I really like that world time complication a whole lot. I’m assuming that there is a 24 hour day night wheel and I am glad that the movement hacks and winds. I want that watch. I see what you mean about the last series you showed. I really like the black dialed regular one. Thanks for the post!
Hi Howie,
I’m not sure how the watch functions at this point. From the way the numbers are positioned, I believe the 24 hour day night wheel does not rotate.
Best regards,
Thomas
