Seiko’s Year Watch Collection has added a model for the 2027 Year of the Sheep, available through Japanese mail-order retailer I.E.I. The edition comprises 2,027 watches and carries a tax-inclusive price of ¥54,780, with ¥770 charged for delivery within Japan.

A gold-colored ram occupies the lower subdial against an off-white background designed to resemble fleece. The seconds hand features a hoof-inspired tip, while the back bears a ram engraving and an edition number. Black subdials sit at the 9 and 3 positions.

The quartz movement’s monthly accuracy rating is plus or minus 15 seconds. Despite the two case pushers and a seconds hand described as a stopwatch hand, I.E.I’s function list does not identify a chronograph. The steel case dimensions are 47 x 39.8 x 12.8 mm, with curved Hardlex covering the dial and a water-resistance rating of 10 bar.

The lamb leather strap accommodates wrist sizes of 13.5 to 18.5 cm. Manufactured in Japan, the watch comes with I.E.I’s three-year warranty. Overseas purchases require an exporter; Japan-Select gives 20 January 2027 as the release date.
