In celebration of Seiko's 140th anniversary and its long association with Ginza,  two limited editions have been introduced into the Prospex and Presage collections which capture both the classic and modern faces of Ginza. Both models are coming to Christies Papatoetoe but we are limited to 5 of each model. There are just 3 left of the SPB259 which is due to arrive in November. The SSA445 is on its way and due in store the first week of November. Notify your interest via the notify button on the items product information page and we will advise when they are in store or we can arrange a pre order to secure one of these limited edition models.

The Prospex limited edition is based on the modern re-interpretation of the 1959 Alpinist watch introduced earlier this year. The intricate pattern of the dial incorporates two different sunray patterns which, as the viewing angle changes, create ever-changing impressions that capture the texture and feel of Ginza's cobblestones.

The Presage creation features the same cobblestone-inspired dial pattern and Komparu color seconds hand, but the watch has the distinguished aspect of the recently released “Style60’s” design series inspired by the 1964 Seiko Crown Chronograph. The box-shaped glass, sharp hands and faceted indexes are inherited directly from the Crown Chronograph and create a retro feel that matches perfectly with the classic dial pattern. The opening at the 9 o'clock position allows the wearer to see and enjoy the beating of the escapement and the 24 hour sub-dial above it offers a different and useful way to tell the time.
