Hasta La Gadget!

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Seiko wristwatch, Seiko is releasing a limited edition wristwatch called the “SH Special model” (Model # SCQE001) on June 8. “SH” is are the initials of Seiko’s president Shinji Hattori. A numbered series of only 39 watches will be available.

Blue-colored silver-lipped pearl oyster is used for the dial, and 18K white gold is used for the case and back cover. It’s designed in the motif of the Shonan beaches south of Tokyo. Using the center line to resemble the line of the horizon, the dial’s upper part looks like sky and the bottom part looks like ocean.

You can see the mechanical movement through a see-through back cover and enjoy fine detailed carvings of sea creature and sky.

This watch is for the discerning luxury Seiko buyer…
