Back in the 1960s, at around the time when the world's first
quartz watch was taking shape in development, Seiko was also
engaged in a separate drive to offer exceptional functions
in mechanical watches. The culmination of that initiative
came in 1964 with the launch of the first Seiko Chronograph
watches made in Japan. Now, Arctura Kinetic Chronograph
has been chosen to commemorate the 40th anniversary of that
great achievement with a superlative titanium model.
The distinctive impact of this 40th anniversary Seiko chronograph
wrist watch model is enhanced by eye-catching use of gold
on the dial, along with the gold-plating on the crown and
chronograph buttons. The see-through case back reveals a gold-plated
special-specification oscillating weight, printed with the
words "40TH ANNIVERSARY CHRONOGRAPH". SNL009P, SNG067P,
SKA229P
The collection's other new variations, meanwhile, inherit
the visual appeal that played such a key role in Seiko Arctura's
outstanding success all over the world in 2003. Added to such
established strengths as split-level dial architecture and
refined simplicity is a new look of luxury that comes from
the deft use of gold, champagne and midnight blue. There are
8 new references added to the collection for 2004.
