≪Product features≫
Japanese Beauty From GINZA
Seiko Rukia's new collection is inspired by Ginza, a town where Japanese fashion and tradition intersect.
The emotional colors that are rooted in Japanese aesthetics are expressed throughout the watch.
A colorful collection with the theme "From Japan to Ginza"
The dial, which is based on the white pearl oyster, is finished in a bright, lustrous and deep color, and each model has a different look. In the center of the dial, a design with a large flower motif is given. Eight indexes are set with diamonds, a woman's longing jewel, giving off an elegant sparkle.
The crocodile straps, which are soft and well-fitting to the skin, have different front and back colors and finishes depending on the model. In addition, the case has a cut on the edge of the dial that shines when exposed to light, making it even more beautiful.
The color of passion that draws out the attractiveness of women, “Crimen”,
It will give you the courage to go tomorrow and stay close to the radiance of your heart.
"Gourd" is the image of white powder,
Gives you a transparent beauty at hand.
It reminds me of the night sky of Ginza,
The deep, high-quality blue "Ruriiro" colors the hand beautifully.
A dignified gray that resembles the stone pavement of Ginza.
"Aoshiro Tsurubami" creates a fine time.
When you wear "Sakuraro," which is lovely but dignified,
You can feel the gorgeousness.
A mechanical watch suitable for an adult woman
With Rukia's first mechanical movement caliber 6R35, the power reserve is approximately 70 hours, and the time accuracy of the average daily difference of +25 to -15 seconds is realized. Since the back cover is see-through, you can see the movement of the machine inside, and you can enjoy the charm unique to mechanical watches.
This work can be said to be a collection suitable for daily use by an adult woman who has both design and practicality.
Limited number of models "2020 Limited Edition" also available
Following the regular model, a limited number of 250 special models will be released from Friday, September 11th.
The dial color is similar to the light of Ginza, with the image of "Tsukishiro", which is the sky blue color that appears when the moon rises. The light illuminates the shade with various expressions, and the heart is released into a high-quality peace and becomes more beautiful. The bezel is lavishly adorned with 55 diamonds for a glamorous look.
The strap is colored in two stages. Once the surface has been whitened, a similar color of the dial color is inserted into the recess, and a technique called "valley dyeing" is used to add a delicate color to the beautiful crocodile pattern.
