The most anticipated SEIKO of 2021

It's here! The most complex mechanical Seiko has finally arrived. The Presage 'Sharp Edge', Japanese designed, manufactured and assembled. What a watch!  The 6R movement features GMT function, power reserve and calendar. Case size: 42.5mm, stainless, ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal, sleek bracelet. We have three dial colours for you: black, navy, and green. The green with gold GMT hand would be my personal pick; the black one with red hand is simply a safe conservative choice, while navy with peach GMT hand is super quirky.  Why should you invest in a Presage GMT? It is simple: you are getting a great watch at a very fair price. I've searched long and hard, and I don't think there is a Swiss watch out there that offers GMT time, power reserve indication and date calendar for $2,150. To celebrate the arrival of this first batch of three watches, our 'buy it now' price is $1,850. Plus free delivery and the chance to win a Captain Willard next week. This is the BEST PRICE in Australia, guaranteed, and this price is for newsletter subscribers only. As always, your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you open the box and find Presage anything but absolutely stunning, I will take it back, cover the returning postage AND send you $100 in cash as a 'sorry for wasting your time'. NO OTHER DEALER has ever made such an offer, but I am no other dealer, I am a dealer you can trust blindly. Call Gemma on 02 9232 0500 and let's have your 'GMT' shipped this afternoon!

The Mewtwo

 

The second watch featured in the Pokémon Seiko collaboration series is SCXP181 or better known as 'The Mewtwo’. The watch features a subtle patterned purple dial with a large picture of the character Mewtwo. Mewtwo is one of the most powerful if not the most powerful Pokémon characters, created by the arch nemesis of main character Ash, Team Rocket.  Many fans regard Mewtwo as the ‘first Pokémon character’ as it was the first Pokémon seen on screen in the intro of the English dubbed version of the original Pokémon series released in the late 90’s, you can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xKWiCMKKJg The watches caseback features an engraving of a Master Ball, a rare Poke Ball that is more powerful than a regular Poke ball and increases the chances of catching Mewtwo. The box also has the same colour scheme and design as a Master Ball as opposed to the classic red and white Poke ball design seen on the other watch boxes in this series. It also comes with a matching purple NATO strap as well as the black and purple backing leather NATO that comes fitted on the watch.  We don’t see purple dial watches very often but we definitely haven’t seen one as iconic and cool as this one before. Again, this is a Japanese only release and the watch has not be offered for sale anywhere else in the world however we do have one in stock.  Overall condition: 10/10; unworn Price: $590

“Gotta catch ‘Em all”, starting with this one…

 

Pokémon is one of the most universally recognisable brands out of Japan, it is no wonder considering it is the highest grossing media franchise of all time, beating out the likes of Hello kitty, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse and even Star Wars.  Late last year Seiko decided to team up with Pokémon to create a range of cool watches featuring unique designs and styling inspired by the world of Pokémon and its characters. They created a set of four Japan exclusive watches, one of them in that set being SCXP177, the ‘Green Pikachu’ 35mm, battery operated. While there are over 900 Pokémon ‘characters’ there is none more iconic than Pikachu.

The main feature of this watch is the dial, it is a stunning green sunburst inspired by the Viridian Forest, a fictional forest in the world of Pokémon where trainers can seek wild Pikachu. The dial also features a picture of Pikachu running at 6 o'clock as well as a bright yellow seconds hand featuring the same lightning bolt tail as Pikachu.  The watch comes with two straps, a bright yellow NATO strap to match Pikachu of course as well as a leather NATO strap with Pikachu’s little footprints pressed into the leather. This set comes presented in a Poké Ball inspired box with a picture of Pikachu on the inside. Whether you’re a diehard Pokémon fan with a first edition holographic Charizard, or you just appreciate cool watches, then this is the one for you. Unfortunately Seiko Pokémon is only available in Japan (that's where our set came from). We might have another one for sale so if you are interested, send us an email. Stay tuned for more of these Pokémon special editions.
