Purple. The colour of emperors, kings and absolute privilege.
Today, we see it everywhere. Yet for thousands of years, producing this
extraordinary colour was an expensive, labour-intensive and often
unpleasant process.
So, how did purple become the ultimate symbol of power and prestige? And why are purple watch dials still relatively uncommon?
To celebrate its 145th anniversary, Seiko has unveiled a collection
featuring six distinct interpretations of purple. From subtle,
sophisticated hues to bold, eye-catching shades, these watches offer a
fascinating insight into how colour can transform the character of a
timepiece.
