SEIKO - KINETIC 100th Anniversary Elite Collections

















SEIKO - KINETIC 100th Anniversary Elite Collections NEW

The 100th anniversary editions of Premier, Sportura and Velatura. 

A Kinetic celebration


When, in 1913, Seiko built its first wrist watch, the company’s president called it the Laurel. It was not only a first for Seiko, but also a first for Japan and it was the beginning of a tradition of innovation that resulted directly from Kintaro Hattori’s determination that Seiko would always be “one step ahead of the rest”. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Laurel, it is therefore appropriate that one of Seiko’s most innovative technologies would be at the core of the anniversary collection. Seiko Kinetic is a unique achievement, as it is the only watch in the world to convert kinetic energy into power to drive an electronic movement. Seiko Kinetic is worthy of its own laurels.

With Seiko Kinetic, you are the power.

Seiko Kinetic is a motion powered watch that delivers one-second-a-day precision. It is one of Seiko’s ‘clean energy’ technologies, as it never needs a battery change and it combines the very best of traditional and electronic timekeeping. For 25 years, Seiko Kinetic has delivered what many consumers really want; a reliable, long-lasting, environment-friendly, low-maintenance watch that is at least ten times more accurate than any mechanical watch. However, today’s Seiko Kinetic 100th anniversary collection offers much more and features the very best among the many Kinetic calibers that Seiko now offers.

Seiko PREMIER

The Premier Anniversary model incorporates the Kinetic Direct Drive caliber. Not only does the rotor power the watch as you move, but you can also power it by turning the crown. When you do so, the power reserve changes function to become a real-time indicator of the energy you impart to the watch through the winding of the crown. With Kinetic Direct Drive, you are the power and you experience the power transfer to the watch in a way that no other watch can match. With this remarkable caliber and the newly re-sculpted Premier case, it is, more than ever a modern expression of a classic inspiration.

Seiko SPORTURA

In the Sportura Anniversary model, the perpetual energy of motion meets the genius of a perpetual calendar that is correct until February, 2100. The Kinetic Perpetual caliber is vivid proof of Seiko’s mastery of energy management in watchmaking. As in every Kinetic caliber, the wearer’s movement powers the watch, but, with Kinetic Perpetual, this energy is conserved in a uniquely practical way. If the watch is unworn, it puts itself into sleep mode after 24 hours and, remembering the time, is ready to wake up, to the correct time and date, as soon as it is picked up again.

Seiko VELATURA

Velatura is Seiko’s marine sports collection. First launched in 2007, it is now established as the watch of choice among many in the sailing community, including the leading athletes in the 49er Class, the Olympic class that first informed and inspired the creation of the collection.






























The new Velatura collection includes many timepieces designed for the rigors of 49er racing at the highest level, but its flagship is the Kinetic Direct Drive Moon Phase.
