Seiko Presents the 145th Anniversary Roadshow and power design project 2026

By Anna LamEvent

Hong Kong, 2 October 2026 — To celebrate its 145th anniversary, Seiko is staging the Seiko 145th Anniversary Roadshow & power design project Exhibition at Cityplaza from 2 to 5 October 2026. Combining over a century of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with forward-thinking horological creativity, the special event features the new 145th Anniversary Limited Edition series, the Prospex 1965 Heritage Fan-Selected Limited Edition Diver's Watch and the Thong Sia Group Exclusive Limited Edition Prospex Blue Tears Diver's Watch, alongside the highly anticipated power design project exhibition of seven experimental timepieces, inviting watch enthusiasts and the public to explore Seiko's distinguished history and the possibilities of its future.

The power design project is an annual creative initiative led by Seiko's design team, centred this year on the theme of 'Passionately and Obsessively Crafted Watches'. Highlighting concept timepieces created without conventional boundaries, the showcase reflects the designers' obsessive dedication to their craft and Seiko's founding philosophy of being 'always one step ahead of the rest'. Alongside the design project, the roadshow features a curated selection of Seiko's latest timepieces, delivering an immersive celebration of watchmaking artistry.

The 145th Anniversary "Edo Purple" Limited Edition Series.

The Thong Sia Group Exclusive Limited Edition Prospex Blue Tears Diver's Watch.

The Blue Tears diver comes with an additional navy blue silicone strap.

Machining Marks (designed by Naoya Sukeda). Inspired by the visible tool marks in artisanal woodworking, this watch celebrates the raw, precise traces of the manufacturing process with a stepped, staircase-like metal case structure.

Spherical Surface (designed by Yu Ishihara). A continuous spherical curvature seamlessly aligns four tiers — glass, bezel, case and outer case guard. With concealed lugs and a flush crown, the watch reads as a pure, reflective sculpture.

Dial Texture (designed by Takuya Matsumoto). Drawing on the geometric architecture of Spain's Alhambra Palace, this design explores microscopic pattern depth controlled to one-hundredth of a millimetre, pressing intricate, light-catching relief patterns onto the metal dial.

Manual Winding (designed by Kento Ito). Reimagining the tactile experience of hand-winding a watch, the case architecture and mechanism emphasise the sensory mechanical feedback and ritual of winding a timepiece.

Bar Indices (designed by Miho Wada). Beam-like polished indices fill the entire dial, catching and reflecting light from every angle and transforming a basic timekeeping element into a bold optical statement.

Day Indicator (designed by Akihiro Hasegawa). Rethinking the traditional calendar window, this concept replaces standard day labels with positive, text-based messages — turning a functional display into a playful, encouraging daily reflection.

Hands (designed by Yuki Omori). Traditional hands are playfully reimagined with artistic motifs — including cat figures whose movement indicates time — subverting conventional time-telling with a whimsical, character-driven language.

The Seiko 145th Anniversary Roadshow & power design project Exhibition runs at Centre Bridge, 2/F, Cityplaza, 18 Taikoo Shing Road, Taikoo Shing, Hong Kong — 12:00–20:00 on 2 October, and 11:00–20:00 from 3 to 5 October 2026.
