Seiko "Shinji Hattori Special Model" Limited Edition Watch For Japan
Seiko once again teases the world with another Japan-only, high-end watch that they released over the summer (June) in Japan as a very small limited edition. This is a pretty lovely model and is a rare glimpse into Seiko corporate culture as well as humor. It is also very "Japanese" with elements that have double meanings and with the beach theme that is meant to honor the shores of Shonan, which is located in central Japan along the coast. Called the "SH Special Model" (ref. SCQE001), this timepiece is really celebrating several things about the brand at once. We think you'll like it."SH" stands for Shinji Hattori, who is the current president of Seiko in Japan. He has been there since 2010 and I wrote about it here. Among other things (like watches) Shinji is very fond of Shonan and its beach shores south of Tokyo. Perhaps a favorite leisure spot of his, the area is also known to have good waves for surfing.

This was a great watch to write about because it is just a good execution of the jumping hour theme. Does it mean that I am partial to digital watches because I like it?

Here's a roundup of a few of these watches at various price points that you can pick up (or just admire from afar) today.Bell & Ross was one of the first, if not the first company to introduce the vintage military look into their lineup with the BR Heritage series.?
