THE POWER OF KINETICS
Seiko’s Kinetic system turns 30 years old next year, and it remains one of the most reliable systems convering movement into electrical power to drive your watch. The Calibre 7D48 movement enable Seiko’s Premier watches to run easily, powered by your body’s movement, and boasts a perpetual calendar accurate up to 28 February 2100.
DIVE MASTER
The Marinemaster by Seiko is the same age as our nation. With five decades of water experience, you can bet it has plenty of endurance. The Prospex Marinemaster Professional comes in titanium, with a Hi-Beat movement, diving rubber strap and a titanium bracelet. Seiko has also coated the hands and markers with a new Lumibrite that glows 60 per cent longer than the past. Only 700 will be produced in this limited edition.

GRAND DAME
Grand Seiko has been a sweetly kept secret by Seiko corporation until its international release a few years ago. It remains the highlight of Seiko’s fine watchmaking, with a powerful Hi-Beat movement that keeps it precise, a GMT function integrated into the 9S86 movement and continuous hour adjustment along with quick hour changes for travel time zones. The lion roars strongly in this watch.
