Seiko - Kintaro Hattori 100th Anniversary Limited Edition - SPB441

Presage Seiko Brand 100th Anniversary Kintaro Hattori Limited Edition.
Born of perseverance and hope, the history of the Seiko brand name goes
back to the aftermath of the devastating Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923,
when K. Hattori & Co., determined to rebuild, released its 1924 first
Seiko branded wristwatch. Combining the finest in Japanese mechanical
watchmaking with a uniquely Japanese sense of beauty, this extraordinary
Limited Edition, available only in a controlled-production run of 1,000, 
with the serial number & the Seikosha “S” trademarked by Kintaro Hattori
engraved on each screw-down case-back, has been inspired by that first
timepiece bearing the Seiko logo on its dial. The elegant white enamel
dial, crafted by master artisan Mr. Yokosawa, recreates the original,
including the initial Seiko logo, 24-hour sub-dial, stylized numerals
and retro-styled curved blue hands.

Reminiscent of vintage designs, the black sustainable leather strap
is certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG)

The 24-jewel automatic movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations
per hour, with an approximately 72-hour power reserve and manual winding
capability.

Crafted of stainless steel, with sapphire crystal, this exceptional design
signifies both Seiko’s reverence for its past and commitment to continued
excellence. Packaged in a special Paulownia wood box incorporating the first
logo. 50 meter water resistant.
