The Mechanical 2014 Limited Model from "SEIKO GALANTE" arrives on Friday, August 22nd. This limited edition model is designed to capture the exhilaration of adult men (the "Galanists") who forge their own path, making decisions based on their own experience rather than being swayed by others, as they dive into the sparkling night.



The Galante features a multi-faceted case finished with Zaratsu polishing to an ultra-mirror surface, housing a high-performance, high-quality mechanical movement from one of the world's few remaining manufacture houses that handle everything from the manufacturing of key components to assembly in-house. Its distinctive design exudes an overwhelming presence, and the powerful movement of the balance wheel visible through the semi-skeleton window is a key feature. While the case has an impactful shape, its curved underside ensures a comfortable fit on the wrist, adding to its appeal.


For this limited edition, the initial letter of the brand name [G], formed by 135 aurora-colored Swarovski elements, is boldly laid out on the black dial, creating a dazzling night scene. The [G] is positioned slightly clockwise, expressing the "forward-leaning" exhilaration of the Galanists.


The diamonds placed at the 12, 6, and 9 o'clock positions as hour markers add an accent to the design while ensuring the watch's fundamental legibility. Furthermore, the four prominent cylindrical lugs, a signature design element of the Galante, are set with black diamonds as a special specification for this limited model.

As a special privilege exclusive to this limited model, customers can choose to have one of the black diamonds set on the four cylindrical lugs replaced with a ruby at the point of purchase, if requested at the store. While the design is predominantly black, a vividly shining ruby provides a beautiful accent and allows the watch to be enjoyed as a customizable piece that further enhances the wearer's individuality. We hope you will enjoy the approaching autumn nights with its original sparkle.
