Seichu. A traditional braiding technique from Japan.

The fabric straps incorporate a traditional braiding technique from Japan called Seichu. Their rich texture and color complexion are familiar in Japanese culture for their use in fabric designs,as seen in a traditional “obijime,” the decorative cord that holds a Kimono sash in its place.The straps present a uniquely Japanese aesthetic and texture and are specially manufacturedto have a tensile strength nearly four times that of regular Seiko fabric straps*. Their strengthand resistance to degradation caused by exposure to sunlight, meet the demanding standardsof Seiko’s diver’s watches and are perfect for use under water. In addition, thanks to its uniquebraiding pattern, the straps have the flexibility and air permeability that ensure maximumcomfort on the wrist.*based on research conducted by Seiko.

Five years after the introduction of Seiko’s, and Japan’s first diver’s watch in 1965, Seiko introduced the 1970 diver’s,whose asymmetrical extension protected the crown at thefour o’clock position. Its solid construction, luminous handsand indexes and 150 meter water resistance were perfect forthose who required a timepiece with exceptional strengthand visibility. The watch proved its reliability in extremeconditions when it was worn by the Japanese adventurer,Naomi Uemura, in the years 1974 to 1976 when he completeda 12,500km solo dog-sled run from Greenland to Alaska.
