When Kinatro 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 realizes in a series of four limited edition watch, that together, show the range of Seiko’s watchmaking expertise, from automatic to GPS Solar. 

FROM PROSPEX TO ASTRON GPS SOLAR. A WIDE SPECTRUM OF WATCHMAKING EXPERTISE. 

The four watches in this series share the same blue and silvery white ivory but are all very different in design, technology and character. The Astron GPS Solar represents the pinnacle of high technology electronic watchmaking while the 6R64 automatic GMT caliber is traditional horology at its finest. The series also draws upon Seiko’s long tradition in sports watches. The Prospex watch is a modern re-interpretation of Seiko’s very first diver’s watch from 1965 while the Seiko 5 Sports creation symbolizes the extraordinary value that this series has offered to sports watch lovers for over half a century.
