It has unveiled six limited-edition timepieces across four of its greatest hallmark lineups. Six timepieces, each telling a distinct chapter of a story thread through technological innovation, traditional craftsmanship, mechanical elegance, and spirit of adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/seiko.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49955\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The six anniversary timepieces.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>The various outlooks of a manufacture<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If every watch enthusiast knows Seiko today, it is thanks to the special design of each model of its lineup. The anniversary models are a particularly fine case in point. Take the new Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver\u2019s 145th anniversary limited edition and the Prospex Samurai 145th anniversary limited edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/prospex1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49940\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The new Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver\u2019s Limited Edition 145th Anniversary and Prospex Samurai Limited Edition 145th Anniversary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At Prospex, it is time to explore. A worthy successor to the first Japanese diver\u2019s watch from 1965, the lineup remains true to its original purpose: to accompany both professionals and enthusiasts in the most demanding environments. The first limited edition captures the timeless lines of the 1965 Heritage Diver, now powered by a self-winding calibre. It boasts a 3-day power reserve. Water-resistant to 300 metres, it pairs a silver-white dial with a navy-blue bezel and a matching seconds hand: a nod to the hallmark Seiko Blue which ties together all the anniversary editions. What is more, the clasp highlights an ingenious micro-adjustment mechanism. Thus, you can adapt the bracelet on the fly to fit your wrist perfectly \u2014 whether you are diving or just going about your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/prospex2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49942\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>A Seiko Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver featuring subtle blue accents inspired by Seiko Blue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second Prospex brings a more contemporary feel. Its sharply faceted \u2014 almost sculpted \u2014 case asserts a sportier personality. The two-tone aluminium bezel (silver for the first fifteen minutes, blue for the rest of the scale) serves as its visual hallmark. Powered by a sturdy self-winding calibre, this limited edition highlights the serious style credentials a watch can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/prospex3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49943\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>The watch stands&nbsp;out thanks&nbsp;to its two-tone aluminium bezel&nbsp;insert. It highlights a silver-coloured finish for&nbsp;the&nbsp;0\u201315-minute scale and&nbsp;blue for the&nbsp;rest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely to this utilitarian universe, the Presage lineup reminds us that Seiko is also a manufacture deeply rooted in Japan\u2019s decorative arts. Of the six pieces unveiled, this is undoubtedly the standout model. For the first time, the lineup showcases an Arita porcelain dial finished with a cobalt blue glaze \u2014 the fruit of a massive development to achieve such remarkable depth of colour on a surface so delicately thin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/presage-arita1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49946\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Seiko Presage Classic Series \u201cCraftsmanship\u201d, Arita porcelain dial limited edition \u2013 145th Anniversary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Supervised by master craftsman Hiroyuki Hashiguchi, each dial is crafted through a rigorous traditional process, where moulding, firing, and finishing follow one another with the utmost thoroughness. Beneath this understatement, the timepiece epitomises one of the finest expressions of Japanese know-how. Powered by a self-winding calibre boasting a 72-hour power reserve, it also introduces a new case design created to showcase the dial\u2019s richness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/presage1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49944\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Presage Classic Series 145th Anniversary Limited Edition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second Presage explores another facet of this traditional craft. It takes its cues from&nbsp;shironeri&nbsp;silk \u2014 that pristine white achieved by refining the fibres. The dial\u2019s delicate texture reminds us of the softness of the fabric. The blue hands and hour markers lend a subtle contrast to the silvered surface. More classic in tone, this limited edition shares the same calibre and comes with a leather strap sourced from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/presage2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49945\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The dial colour takes its cue from&nbsp;shironeri, a pristine white derived from refinement raw silk threads.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1<strong>45 years of Seiko: bridging heritage and innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>King Seiko demonstrates this ability to revamp the heritage. Launched in 1961, the lineup reflected Seiko&#8217;s ambition to craft premium mechanical timepieces combining thoroughness with elegance. A few years later, the Vanac line introduced a more daring aesthetic, with angular shapes and bold colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vanac2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49947\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">King Seiko Vanac 145th Anniversary Limited Edition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This new limited edition captures that original spirit with great refinement. Its silver dial is framed by a striking bright blue ring inspired by the vintage Vanac. The gleaming blue hands mirror the LumiBrite-coated hour markers. The bezel-free case design takes its cues from the Tokyo skyline \u2014 the historic home of Seiko. Beneath the see-through sapphire case back beats a self-winding calibre: a high-precision movement boasting a 3-day power reserve, adorned with refined bridges which showcase the exquisite thoroughness of the finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vanac1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49948\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Calibre 8L45&nbsp;delivers roughly a 72-hour power reserve, alongside a daily accuracy of +10 to -5 seconds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we come to the Astron \u2014 undoubtedly the lineup that sums up in the best way the manufacture&#8217;s core philosophy. In 1969, the Quartz Astron rocked the watchmaking world by becoming the very first commercially available quartz watch. Over 50 years on, its successor keeps the flame of innovation alive with a limited edition powered by the all-new GPS Solar Calibre 5X63. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/astron1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49949\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Astron GPS Solar Dual-Time Chronograph 145th Anniversary Limited Edition \u2013 HAB004J1<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is engineered to handle dual-time zones, a 1\/20th-second chronograph. It syncs with GPS satellites to display the time across 38 time zones. This Astron showcases the electronic know-how Seiko has perfected over several decades. The case features a quick-release strap system. It allows you to switch smoothly from a titanium bracelet to a blue and white silicone strap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/astron2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49950\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The case highlights a quick-release strap system.

It enhances wearing comfort even further. The silvered dial, adorned with geometric patterns, features flawlessly symmetrical blue sub-dials.
