A Unique Dial Creates a Sense of Specialness
A limited edition model has been released, featuring a color scheme that embodies the world of "White Mountaineering," applied to a remake of the rider's chronograph jointly developed by SEIKO and Giugiaro Design in 1986.
The original chronograph that this remake is based on was developed for use in motorcycle scenes. To improve legibility while the rider is holding the handlebars, the dial is set at a 15-degree angle clockwise.
More specifically, the dial has a gentle 5-degree inclination in three dimensions so that it faces the rider's line of sight. When viewed from the side, even the crystal is angled, creating a unique and functionalist design.
The newly released model boasts a unique dial design that expresses the world of "White Mountaineering." The serial number engraved on the case back further emphasizes the special nature of this model.
Packaged in a special box, its rarity is further enhanced.
