Seiko 140th Anniversary
Limited Edition
When Kintaro Hattori founded his company in 1881, he was just 21 years old. During his fifty
years at the helm, Seiko became the leading watch company in Japan, with its own design
and production facilities. This achievement was a direct result of his single-minded vision
that Seiko should always be “one step ahead of the rest”.
His words resonate still and continue to inspire Seiko today. In celebration of Seiko’s 140th
anniversary, Kintaro’s vision is now realised in a series of four limited edition watches that,
together, show the range of Seiko’s watchmaking expertise, from automatic to GPS Solar.
CONCEPT
Capturing the scene of the blue sky piercing through clouds,
the combination of the silvery-white dial with blue ties together the
watches from Seiko’s four representative collections.
Just as if sunlight spreads its glow throughout the sky,
the new creations inspire us to move toward a brighter future.
LINE UP
A modern re-interpretation of Seiko’s first ever diver’s watch from 1965. The wide hands and generously
applied Lumibrite deliver high visibility while the screw-down crown and case-back ensure 200 metre water resistance. The watch case and back are shaped to sit easily on the wrist.

The Presage Sharp Edged Series case and bracelet incorporate flat surfaces with sharp angles that allows the watch to sparkle from every angle. The case has a super-hard coating that protects the case and bracelet from scratches but also preserves its brilliance. The dial has an Asanoha or hemp leaf pattern that has been used for a thousand years and more in Japanese fabrics and architecture. The rich texture of the dial’s geometric pattern creates an infinite variety of shades at different angles as the light moves across it. The watch is powered by the automatic GMT calibre 6R64.

The case of this Astron GPS Solar creation has the same curved silhouette and the same wide case lugs as the Quartz Astron watch of 1969 that remains one of Seiko’s most celebrated technological achievements. The design is brought right up to date with the GPS Solar Dual-Time 5X53 Calibre that adjusts to the exact time anywhere* in the world, using just the power of light and offers advanced several advanced features including high-speed time zone adjustment and a ‘Time Transfer’ function. The dial is a clean light silver colour with blue accents, and the bezel is in blue ceramic.
* If there are changes in the region / time zone, manual selection may be required.
