Slimmer, Yet Fully Functional
The Lukia Lady Diamond series, launched last year, has been a resounding success. The new models feature a single diamond at the 7 o'clock position, symbolizing luck, and a brighter, more refined white dial that enhances its sparkle. The silhouette has also been slimmed down, creating a finish that sits comfortably on the wrists of Japanese women.
In the "Lucky Passport" series of solar-powered radio-controlled watches with world time functionality, a reduction in thickness of approximately 1mm has been achieved, making them the thinnest models with this function in Seiko's lineup. Meanwhile, the slimmer tonneau-shaped solar-powered radio-controlled model boasts a case width reduced by about 2mm. This adds elegance to Lukia's popular tonneau shape, enhancing its mature appeal.
What's more, the new "Platinum Diamond Shield" color on the strap is not to be missed. Diamond Shield is a surface treatment technology independently developed by Seiko to protect the watch's original luster and finish from minor scratches and scuffs that can occur over time. This new model incorporates this technology with platinum, resulting in a whiter, more beautiful color while retaining all the original benefits.
It seems to be a new color, characteristic of Lukia, that makes the skin appear brighter and more beautiful.
