Seiko Watch Corporation will simultaneously release four limited edition models from its four brands,
Ginza is the birthplace of Seiko and is one of Japan's most representative districts. Since the Meiji era, this area has been a vibrant gathering place for innovative merchants, writers, and other people with refined tastes, and a place where cutting-edge culture and information are disseminated. The atmosphere and state of the area, which makes anyone feel like they're the star of the show just by walking through it, continue to be a part of the city's charm to this day.
This model brilliantly depicts Ginza's most dazzling nighttime scenery using four of Seiko's most representative brands. The case back of each model is inscribed with "GINZA LIMITED EDITION" and a serial number.
This sports watch brand offers full-fledged functionality for sports and outdoor activities such as diving and trekking. The brand's signature style is its diver's watch. Since releasing the first domestically produced diver's watch in 1965, Seiko has continued to release a series of groundbreaking products equipped with unique technologies. It has continued to evolve tirelessly for over 50 years, earning the acclaim and trust of professional divers and adventurers around the world.
The Ginza limited edition model combines a luxurious design with a chic black dial reminiscent of Ginza nightlife, with the reliability of a genuine diver's watch. In addition to its high practicality, this model's elegant shine with the lustrous mirrored case sides makes it a striking presence on the wrist.
This model takes its name from the Quartz Astron, the world's first quartz watch, which Seiko released in 1969. Launched in September 2012, this is the world's first GPS solar watch, designed to usher in a "second revolution" following the "quartz revolution," which transformed lifestyles around the world with its high timekeeping accuracy. With a simple button press, this watch receives GPS satellite signals and acquires latitude, longitude, and altitude information to pinpoint your current location and quickly display the accurate time for that location, no matter where you are on the planet.
The Ginza limited edition model features a glittery black dial and rose gold accents, elegantly capturing the brilliance of Ginza nightlife. The design harmonizes with the lustrous, distortion-free mirror-finish case to create a stunning look.
As a Made-in-Japan watch brand that inherits Seiko's watchmaking history and know-how spanning more than 100 years, it offers a wide range of products that combine tradition and technology, and has earned high praise around the world for its unique designs and techniques rooted in Japanese aesthetics.
The Ginza limited edition model is a mechanical watch featuring a glittery dial and brown crocodile strap, evoking the glamorous yet tranquil nightlife of Ginza. The elegant case features a combination of textured and mirror finishes to enhance the beauty of the sparkling dial, accentuating its sophisticated charm.
Launched in 1995, Lukia celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. To this day, it has been a brand that captures the needs of women and has been supported by many, especially working women. Equipped with high functionality using cutting-edge technology, its comfortable design is in tune with the times, adorning the wrists of women who live smartly, positively, and true to themselves, bringing out their full brilliance.
The Ginza limited edition model features a glittery dial inspired by the nightlife of Ginza, where dignified, sophisticated women come and go. The solitary diamond placed at the 7 o'clock position on the dial radiates timeless beauty, just like the long-loved town of Ginza.

(※3) Diashield
"DiaShield" is a surface treatment technology developed exclusively by Seiko to protect the watch's original beautiful shine and fine finish from scratches and minor marks caused by everyday use. As color variations with the same hardness, the lineup includes "Platinum Diashield," which incorporates platinum to achieve a whiter, more beautiful color, and "Rose Gold Diashield," which exudes an elegant shine.
(※4) Comforttex
This is Seiko's proprietary comfort technology that achieves the comfort required of a wristwatch (easy to read and scratch-resistant) through "Super Clear Coating," which makes the glass invisible, and "DiaShield," which protects the watch from scratches. Furthermore, "Comfotex Ti," which pursues even greater comfort, uses titanium, which is approximately 40% lighter than stainless steel and less likely to cause metal allergies, in parts that come into direct contact with the skin. (※5) Super Clear Coating
This is Seiko's unique anti-reflective coating, which applies a transparent film to both the front and back of the glass to reduce light reflection by over 99%. The glass is virtually invisible, even in bright sunlight or other brightly lit environments. The anti-fouling film on the surface also makes it easy to wipe off any dirt.
(※6) Super Smart Sensor (Automatic Time Correction Function)
This is Seiko's unique technology that automatically receives time information up to two times a day. When sunlight hits the dial, such as while you're out, the reception timing is automatically adjusted and GPS satellite signal reception begins. The watch also remembers the time of the last successful manual reception and automatically adjusts the time to that time. (Reception will not occur if the watch is low on charge. Time zone adjustment is required when changing time zones.)
(※7) DST (Daylight Saving Time) Function
Please refer to our website for the time zone and DST (Daylight Saving Time) information built into the listed products. (www.seikowatches.com). Changes to the time zone or DST (Daylight Saving Time) implementation information will not be reflected. Manual time zone selection and manual DST (Daylight Saving Time) settings are required.
