SEIKO Watch unveils its Arctura collection in India

Company Brief

Mumbai, December 02, 2008

Seiko Watch India launched its Arctura collection for the Indian market. The Arctura collection was launched by Mr. Atsushi Kaneko, Managing Director, SEIKO Watch India Pvt. Ltd.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Atsushi Kaneko said, “We are very excited to bring Seiko’s latest offering - the Arctura collection to India and are certain that the new Arctura, that has an aerodynamic profile whose strength bears witness to the power of the Kinetic movements, will be the "must-have" accessory among the style influentials and lovers of pure design.”

The concept of Arctura is the arc, the most emotionally satisfying of the many shapes in our world. The arc might be found in nature, like a rainbow, or it might be in man-made creations like the dome of a Renaissance cathedral. Wherever it is to be found, it is a form that pleases the eye and speaks of continuity, eternity and purity. The new Arctura collection pays homage to the perfection and beauty of the 'arc' with its sleek lines, accentuated curves and circular accents.

The Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph Caliber 9T82

The now famous 9T82 caliber is perfectly suited to the sleek, modern style of Arctura. Each of the five inner dials is framed by a strong circular ring and they give the whole design an air of clarity and simplicity. This watch is offered as a limited edition of 500 pieces and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the president, Shinji Hattori.

Each of the 5 sub-dials has its own function,to ensure that all the time information is always fully visible.

The SEIKO Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph 9T82 combines the reliability and high accuracy of Kinetic technology with the traditional attributes of the mechanical chronograph. One essential characteristic of the best chronographs is the reset responsiveness of the hands. To return each hand to its starting point instantaneously, this model features a heartcam snap-to-zero arrangement, which has always been a feature of the very best mechanical chronographs. To ensure the smooth movement of the hands and an instant date change, 38 rubies are used in the bearings. And a backlash mechanism ensures high-precision movement of the wheels and hands.

The new Arctura Kinetic Chronograph is the perfect instrument for precision timing, wherever it is needed, on land, on the sea or in the air. With fifteen-second-a-month accuracy and the reassuring certainty that the rechargeable batteries will ensure perfect performance throughout the life of the watch, the Kinetic Chronograph is one of the world's most sophisticated and yet most practical timepieces. In the new Arctura execution, the time of day dial has been enlarged for increased legibility and the sculpted chronograph buttons follow the contours of the case to add to the aerodynamic appeal of the watch.
