Seiko sought inspiration from the Japanese Asanoha pattern when creating Presage Sharp Edge SPB167 Automatic, a design used since the Heian period over a thousand years ago. The result is a handsome watch featuring a blue dial with a sharply edged geometric pattern creating a subtle color gradation as it plays with the light at different angles. Ref. SPB167 https://seikoluxe.com/products/spb167

The Presage SPB170 Automatic features a rose gold finish and is paired with a brown leather strap to complement the steel finished case. The dial is decorated with a pattern based on the traditional hemp leaf pattern from the Heian Period, a symbol of growth and prosperity, with a gloss finish for added brilliance. Ref.

The new Kintaro Hattori 160th Anniversary watch joins the long list of Seiko's horological innovations, including the world's first quartz watch in 1969, that exemplify Kintaro's philosophy that has kept Seiko at the forefront of watchmaking technology. With its deep black tones, gold-tone accents, and high gloss bezel, the watch has a commanding presence on the wrist that befits its heritage. The watch case and bracelet are in titanium with a scratch-resistant hard-coating.... The bezel is made from Zirconia ceramic with sixteen facets, one for each decade since Kintaro's birth. The watch is offered in a special presentation box with a commemorative "S" mark badge. It includes a card that carries a message from Kintaro's great-grandson and the company's current Chairman & CEO, Shinji Hattori. Available in the month of Kintaro's birth, October, at Seiko Boutiques and select retail partners nationwide. Ref. SSH073 https://seikoluxe.com/products/ssh073 #Seiko #KintaroHattori #Astron #SSH073

At the age of 17, Seiko’s founder Kintaro Hattori set up his own timepiece repair business at his home. Four years later, he founded his own company, repairing, importing, and selling clocks and watches. Under his leadership, his fledgling start-up grew to be Japan’s pre-eminent timepiece manufacturer. The caseback of the Seiko Astron GPS Solar Kintaro Hattori 160th Anniversary Limited Edition carries Kintaro's name and three reminders of his legacy. The trademark "S" that ...he registered in 1900 occupies the center of the caseback. His motto "One step ahead of the rest" appears above it, and the name Seiko which was first used in 1924, takes pride of place on the rim. Ref.
