Limited edition into the Presage collection to celebrate Seiko's 140th
Anniversary. It captures both the classic and modern faces of Ginza. The
dial pattern echoes the district’s traditional cobblestone streets but
is in a blue-gray tone that also evokes the contemporary feel of the
many modern and architecturally interesting buildings which define Ginza
today.
The seconds hand pays homage to the district’s history with Komparu, a
traditional Japanese color named after Komparu Street, where Ginza’s
nightlife was once centered. This blue color with a soft green tone was
first used in the middle Meiji era (1868 - 1912), instantly found favor
among the many geishas who lived there and then gradually became a
popular color among the public. It's a limited edition of 4,000 pieces.
