The new Seiko Lukia collection celebrates the glamour and cheerfulness of Ginza, the most fashionable place in central Tokyo. Ginza also has a great historical significance in the watchmaking as the birth place of Seiko.

Since 1995, Lukia has been adorning the wrists of discerning women in Japan and it is now, for the first time, available outside of Asia. The collection comprises six creations, each of which has a dial featuring a traditional Japanese color overlaid on a mother-of-pearl base with a flower motif and eight diamond hour markers.

The new Lukia models are SPB133 (Gofun), SPB135 (Kurenai), SPB137 (Ruri), SPB138 (Ao-shiro-tsurubami), SPB140 (Sakura) and limited edition SPB141 (Tsukishiro).

Each dial is colored from both sides, which allows the full richness of the color to blend harmoniously with the texture of the mother-of-pearl dial. The case offers a soft, delicate feeling on the wrist thanks to its perfectly rounded edges.

Five of the six new creations will be available from July 2020, with a limited edition to follow in September. All will be available in selected Seiko Boutiques.

The new Lukia series utilizes Seiko’s latest automatic caliber, 6R35, which delivers a power reserve of 70 hours. It can be seen through the sapphire case back, marking time at 21,600 beats per hour. Each watch is water resistant to 10 bar and has a sapphire crystal that is resistant to scratches.

Seiko Lukia Tsukishiro Limited Edition Reference SPB141J1

To celebrate the arrival of Lukia on the international stage, Seiko has proposed a special watch in a limited edition of just 250. Its dial is the color, Tsukishiro, of the blue-white evening sky that frames the Ginza skyline as the moon is about to appear.

It has 55 diamonds on the bezel and eight diamonds on the dial. The strap has a unique and distinguished look thanks to a special, two-stage dyeing method. After the leather is first dyed white, the grooves in the pattern are then dyed light blue.
