Summary

  • Seiko marks 145 years with a 1,500-piece “Ruri blue” limited edition watch release
  • Each timepiece features a unique, handcrafted Arita porcelain dial showcasing centuries-old artistry
  • Available for pre-order with deliveries commencing in July

Seiko continues to celebrate its 145th Anniversary with a roster of new and limited timepieces. Following up from the Prospex “Samurai” Diver’s watches, the Japanese watch brand has also unveiled a limited-edition “Craftsmanship” Classic Series Arita Porcelain timepiece.

The newly-revealed reference features a “Ruri Blue” dial meticulously crafted from authentic Arita porcelain, paying tribute to centuries of Japanese artisanal tradition. Each dial is individually handcrafted, ensuring subtle variations in texture and color that mark the authenticity of Arita porcelain. The deep “Ruri Blue” glaze represents the most intense finish achieved by Seiko’s Presage line, protected by a dual‑curve sapphire crystal for clarity and durability.

Powering this collectible creation is Seiko’s robust, in-house Caliber 6R51 automatic movement, which delivers a dependable 72-hour power reserve and an accuracy rating of -15 to +25 seconds per day. Seamlessly bridging historical artistry with modern mechanical precision, the watch is presented in a special edition commemorative box to mark the occasion.

The Classic Series 145th Anniversary Limited Edition retails for £1,600 GBP (approx. $2,000 USD) and is officially available for pre-order through the Seiko Boutique website. Global deliveries are slated to begin in July, 2026.
