It was cult and it was pink, very pink. When The Pink Phink was came out in 1964, the American short comedy film directed by Friz Freleng introduced the world  to the Pink Panther, an endearing and unique character who was bent on painting a house pink that the painter, aka The Little Man, saw in blue. The house of Seiko has just revealed a limited edition watch, as amusing as it is audacious. The Seiko 5 Sports Pink Panther features a pink dial, the iconic footprints and a nylon strap featuring the inscription « Wet Paint » nestled in a beautifully illustrated gift box depicting the celebrated house turning from blue into pink.
