New Seiko Additions to Premier Watch Family

In 2009, Seiko enlarges its internationally famous Premier Collection with 18 new timekeeping creations. Moreover, the company has developed two new calibers. The new watches demonstrate new original design accents and refreshed look.

The Kinetic Direct Drive Moon Phase watch is one of the most exciting additions to the Premier Collection.

The new timepiece is special not only due to its outside beauty but also due to its technical sophistication. The watch has smartly united the traditional moon phase indicator with the advanced Kinetic Direct Drive technology.

The Seiko specialists created a new movement - Caliber 5D88 - to come up with the clearest time presentation and guarantee supreme ease of use. The watch’s wearer can operate all the time and calendar functions with help of the single crown.

The same crown is used for adding power to the watch. The watch wearer can see the power that is being generated right at the moment.

The elegant dial of the Seiko Kinetic Direct Drive Moon Phase watch shows the day and 24-hour indicators in the sub-dial positioned at 6 o’clock, while the two power reserve functions are displayed in one fan-shaped dial at 9 o’clock.

One more important addition to the Seiko Premier Collection is the new Chronograph Perpetual watch.

The Seiko specialists met an exciting challenge of combining an alarm chronograph with a perpetual calendar (up to February 28, 2100) in a single timepiece. Yet, as watches.infoniac.com has to admit, the watch is really easy-to-use and makes one feel the classic appeal of a Premier model.

The secret of the new Seiko watch is the dual function of the center hand. One and the same hand indicates the date, month and leap year when the day mode is switched on and seconds in the chronograph mode. This way, the dial maintains its perfect readability.

Thus, the timepiece
provides the highest timekeeping technology, being equipped with Caliber 7T62, while revealing a classic, restrained look.


The Premier Collection has also been joined by 7 new exclusive timepieces for women.

The new Seiko Premier women’s watches are characterized by sobriety and classicism, along with modern inventiveness.

The range of the new Seiko watches includes diamond-adorned models. Their case constructions incorporate curved sapphire crystals and cabochon crowns. The timepieces guarantee 100-meter water-resistance.
