Product Description Specifications Reviews Video

The upbeat theme song of Street Fighter always stood out to me from the chaotic mix of soundtracks from the array of games available in the nearby arcade. Lined up in neat rows akin to the orderly formations of fighters in training, the Street Fighter arcade game machines were all the hype since its release in 1987 and is currently the leading fighting game in the esports field. And now, enter the new Seiko 5 Sports Street Fighter Series Blanka - Call Of The Wild Limited Edition Ref.SBSA083, inspired by Blanka, a feral man who grew up in a harsh jungle in the latest edition of the world-famous Player VS Player fighting game, Street Fighter V. This watch depicts Blanka’s distinctive style with its rugged design and a consistently green hue.

Just like how Blanka’s ferocity empowers him, the Call Of The Wild is powered by the Caliber 4R36 built with 24 jewels and operates at 21,600 bph. This automatic movement with manual winding capacity also has a power reserve of 41 hours. Furthermore, the timepiece measures 42.5mm and has a thickness of 13.4mm, an adequate yet comfortable canvas to capture the fighting spirit of this beloved game hero.

Made out of stainless steel, its watch case flaunts an athletic black multi-finished case with hard coating complemented by a matching black push-pull crown at 4 o’clock. Flipping the timepiece over, admire the exhibition screw-down case back that allows for a water resistance of 100m. Marvel at the controller command for Blanka’s special move “Electric Thunder”, the title logo of Street Fighter V, a unique serial number and limited-edition label in gold on this case back.

4R36 automatic caliber

The green, yellow and orange hues of the dial, rehaut and unidirectional rotating bezel of this timepiece draw inspiration from Blanka’s appearance in the video game. The bezel’s electric discharge patterns reflect the power of one of Blanka’s special moves, the “Electric Thunder”. Additionally, this dial’s pressed spinning design is based on Blanka’s iconic rolling attacks and the hour indexes mirror the sharpness and power of his teeth.

This sunburst green dial also shows off a clear day/date display and its orange handset, accentuated with metal trimmings, is filled with Lumibrite which glows green in the dark. Moreover, this watch is built with a stop second hand function that allows for accurate time adjustments.

Limited Edition 9999 pieces

Complementing its dial colour, the Call Of The Wild comes with a sporty green nylon strap with striking orange stitching. Spot an affectionate “Blanka Chan” doll image printed on the back of the nylon strap end that encompasses a surprising alternative to Blanka’s wild appearance.

"Now the beast is unleashed!" Enter into the ring of life every day and crush the challenges that attack you with this exquisite watch. A limited production of 9,999 timepieces, the Call Of The Wild celebrates the feral warrior in a single watch that encapsulates the immense strength and untamed appearance of this video game character.
