Ultra-thin watches that expand your styling options this season

In 1960, the "Seiko Gold Feather," conceived with the concept of "feather-like thinness and a soft fit," was remade as a slim analog quartz pair model. It boasted the world's thinnest profile among wristwatches with a central second hand. The collection features vivid gradient dials inspired by vintage jewelry and an ageless, genderless design. The regular models come in four colors: green, pink, blue, and red, with case diameters of 38.2mm and 30.2mm (blue and red are available only in 38.2mm), making them perfect as a pair of watches.

Additionally, there's a Christmas limited edition model with special index markings, inspired by Christmas tree ornaments and gift packaging. The color scheme, based on navy to symbolize the genderless design concept, is perfect for Christmas gifts, such as exchanging between couples. Each is limited to 1,000 pieces and features the inscription "Limited Edition" on the case back as proof of its limited status.

Furthermore, there's an exclusive model from "Nano・Universe," which disseminates urban, high-sensitivity trends with a concept of European traditionalism. The combination of modern dark gray and classic YG tones is easy to wear for any gender and blends well with various styles. This is a rare model, limited to 300 pieces, with the Nano・Universe logo and a serial number from 001/ to 300/ engraved on the case back. It is available at Nano・Universe stores nationwide and their online store.
