SEIKO Spring Drive Spacewalk is designed and built for space.

In October 2008, Richard Garriott, the renowned video game designer and adventurer, will become the sixth private space explorer. Richard will conduct his space mission aboard the International Space Station, and during his flight, he intends to conduct a spacewalk, which would make him the first private individual to do so. As steps out into free space, he will be wearing a SEIKO Spring Drive Spacewalk.

SEIKO became involved in this spacewalk watch project because of all the technical challenges. There is another reason. We are deeply attracted to it because of the profound harmony between space and SEIKO. (read more)

SEIKO Spring Drive Spacewalk is scheduled to be marketed worldwide in December 2008, limited to a quantity of 100. Details will be posted on this site.
