Seiko 5 Sports HDB011 x FTC 40th Anniversary Limited Edition – Black Dial, Two-Tone

Seiko 5 Sports teams up with FTC, the legendary San Francisco skate brand, to celebrate its 40th anniversary. FTC started in 1986 as a small selection of skate gear in the back of a ski and tennis shop, and it opened its first store in the Haight-Ashbury district in 1994. It’s since become one of the true homes of street skate culture. The HDB011 marks that milestone and is limited to just 860 pieces, available only in the U.S. and Japan.

This version is finished in FTC’s signature black and gold. The black dial uses a layout borrowed from a popular Seiko archive design from the 1980s, the decade FTC was founded, and the FTC logo sits at 6 o’clock. The 42.5mm stainless steel case features gold-colored accents and comes on a two-tone silver and gold bracelet, giving the watch a classic look with plenty of attitude. A day-date window, a unidirectional rotating bezel, and LumiBrite on the hands and indices round out the SKX-inspired sports design.

Flip it over and the see-through case back shows a red FTC logo in the center of the glass. Inside is Seiko’s Caliber 4R36 automatic movement with 24 jewels and about 41 hours of power reserve. It winds itself as you wear it, can also be wound by hand, and has a hacking seconds hand for precise time setting.

The watch also comes with an extra black nylon strap for a more casual look and a special edition box inspired by a popular FTC apparel graphic. With 100 meters of water resistance, it’s built for everyday wear and makes a standout piece for fans of Seiko, skate culture, or both.

Gold Jewelry
Keep your gold pieces looking their best by cleaning them regularly with a soft cloth to remove oils and buildup. For a deeper clean, soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, gently brush with a soft-bristled brush, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Remove gold jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes, as harsh chemicals can dull its shine over time. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches.

Diamond Jewelry
Diamonds are brilliant by nature, but everyday wear can leave them looking cloudy. Restore their sparkle by soaking in a solution of warm water and mild dish soap, then gently cleaning around the stone and setting with a soft brush. Rinse well and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid touching the diamond directly, as natural oils from your skin can diminish its brilliance. Have your settings checked periodically by a professional to ensure stones remain secure.WatchesWipe your watch down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and moisture after wear. Keep it away from extreme temperatures, magnets, and prolonged direct sunlight, which can affect performance and appearance. If your timepiece is water-resistant, avoid pressing buttons or adjusting the crown while underwater, and rinse with fresh water after any exposure to salt or chlorine. Store your watch in a protective case or box, and have it serviced periodically to keep it running smoothly for years to come.

General Tips
Always remove your jewelry and watches before exercising, cleaning, or handling harsh chemicals. When you're not wearing them, store each piece individually to avoid scratches and tangling. With a little regular care, your pieces will retain their beauty and brilliance for a lifetime.
