Seiko Ladies Watches
Seiko is a Japanese word without any clear English equivalent, combining the subtexts exquisite and success. The venerable watch makers ladies timepieces live up to that billing fully: With a Seiko ladies watch on her wrist, a woman is dressed to dazzle as she blazes full speed ahead.
Seikos timepieces may be more closely linked, however, with male adventurers in the popular imagination through its association with such cinematic action heroes as Sean Connerys James Bond and Matt Damons Jason Bourne and the companys sponsorship of such sports events as the 2002 Winter Olympics. Seikos introduction of the first quartz watch in 1969 literally changed the way that time is told.
Although the company was founded in 1895 as a small jewelry store in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Seiko didnt begin to manufacture Seiko ladies watches until after 1923. Today, however, there are literally dozens of Seiko models with a feminine twist.
One stand-out Seiko collection that includes Seiko ladies watches is the Seiko ladies watches Coutura line consisting of the Seiko Coutura Women's Watch SXD691 with its signature pink, mother-of-pearl dial; the Seiko Coutura Women SXD692 with its white mother-of-pearl dial; the Seiko Women's SXDA38 Coutura Diamond Watch; the Seiko Women's SXGN25 Coutura Diamond Watch; and the Coutura Diamond Multi-Hand Calendar. Though the dials on all five of these timepieces are accented with glittering haloes of diamonds, these watches, with their formidable scratch resistant sapphire crystals, are water resistant and designed to stand up to rugged use. The Coutura Diamond Multi-Hand Calendar is actually designed to be a sport watch with an easy-to-read face and subdials for the day of the week and the date. Like the other members of the Coutura collection, the Diamond Multi-Hand Calendar is surprisingly affordable.
Seikos 2010 Premier Collection, a fusion of classical and Art Deco design motifs, at present does not feature more than one Seiko ladies watch, a stainless steel, rose-gold tone model with the characteristic Premier small second hand. No doubt many more womens watches will be added to the line in the years to come.
Due to their popularity, Seiko ladies watches are so frequently counterfeited that the fake watches even have a name: Feiko. Some online watch vendors even specialise in selling ersatz Seiko ladies watches as Seiko Replicas. How do you tell authentic Seiko watches from the pretenders? Every single one of the authentic Seiko ladies watches will be stamped with brand and movement code on its case back. But the most reliable means of ensuring authenticity is to buy your Seiko ladies watch from a reputable source whom you trust.
