What to know

Seiko’s HDB010 translates Honda’s 1981 Motocompo folding motorcycle into a compact 5 Sports Field model. The bright yellow dial is crossed by a black band carrying the Honda logo, while the six o’clock lettering borrows the bike’s dot-matrix typography. Even the crown is engraved “TURN,” echoing the Motocompo’s fuel cock, and the nylon strap marks its attachment points with transport-themed wording.

The black hard-coated steel case measures 36.4mm across, 12.5mm thick and 44.4mm lug to lug. Inside, the automatic Seiko 4R36 offers hand winding, hacking seconds, day-date display and roughly 41 hours of reserve. Curved Hardlex covers the dial, water resistance is 100 metres, and production is limited to 8,000 pieces. Seiko lists the European price at €450.
