About SEIKO Watches:
Seiko watch brand:
Although the Seiko name was adopted in 1924 with the introduction of its first wrist watch, the company was actually founded 43 years earlier by a clockmaker in Tokyo's Ginza District.
Applauded for its accuracy and craftsmanship, the Seiko watch became a resounding success and by 1938, demand for the timepieces pushed yearly production to well over one million watches.
Dedicated to technology advancement and precise manufacture, the Seiko Company has repeatedly staked its reputation on performance, acting as the Official Timer of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Sapporo, Barcelona,Lillihammer and Nagano. Seiko's many design innovations include the world's first quartz watch, the world's first LCD quartz watch with six digit display,and the world's first intelligent analogue quartz watch with alarm and timer function.
In 1992, with the introduction of the Kinetic design, once again Seiko rewrote the state of the art. The Seiko Kinetic collection is a line of quartz watches that are electrically charged by movement. The Kinetic Auto Relay goes into suspended animation when unworn for three days, thus conserving energy.
With a few shakes of the wearer's wrist, it wakes up and resets itself to the exact time.
Other trend-setting, multi-functional watches by Seiko include the Perpetual Calendar series which automatically reset their date settings for the next 100 years; the Chronograph collection with dual stopwatch features; the Le Grande Sport series, a classic combination of contemporary European design and functionality; and the Ladies Jewellery collection, an elegant marriage of versatility and style.
For some time Seiko has focused its marketing efforts on emphasizing to consumers that a watch tells most about a person. Seiko watches are well-known as the preferred wristwatch of James Bond, as various Seiko brand watches have appeared in five Bond films between 1977 and 1985.
Looking to diversify their product line of fine watches Seiko has introduced several men’s and women’s watch collections. In order to have the Seiko watches brand appeal to a wider range of watch consumer Seiko offers their successful combination of style and performance with the Coutura, Arctura, and Sportura Series of watches.
When designing the Coutura watches Seiko had in mind a watch that had the soul of fashion watches and the heart of sports watches. The Seiko Coutura watches work with either the Kinetic Perpetual, Kinetic, or Alarm Chronograph technology. The top men’s model is arguably the Seiko Coutura Alarm Chronograph Gold-Tone Watch. The most popular women’s watch from the Coutura series is the Seiko Coutura Two Tone Mother of Pearl with Diamonds. This wristwatch is highlighted by a genuine mother-of-pearl face and 20 diamonds accenting the bezel.
The Arctura series is powered by the most advanced Kinetic power system of all Seiko watches. Top models from the Arctura series include the Seiko Arctura Kinetic Chronograph Men’s Watch with White Face and the Seiko Arctura Kinetic Chronograph Men’s Watch with Black Face. Using Kinetic technology both watches wind from the motion of your wrist and never require a battery.
The Seiko Sportura series was designed with “one part stainless steel, two parts testosterone.” The Sportura series works with either the Kinetic Perpetual, Kinetic, or Alarm Chronograph technology. The Seiko Sportura Men’s Retrograde Chronograph watch and the Seiko Sportura Alarm Chronograph –Honda Racing Team – Limited Edition model showcase the best of what the Sportura series has to offer.
