Seiko Kinetic Diver 200m Giugiaro Design 5M42-0F20 Orange Dial 42mm Watch Box

About this watch

A distinctive Seiko Kinetic diver designed with Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign, combining Japanese watchmaking with expressive Italian industrial design. The vivid orange dial has a contrasting blue minute track, white luminous markers, boldly shaped hands and a red-orange-green power-reserve arc between 10 and 2 o'clock, with the date at 3.

The sculpted stainless steel case has a notched rotating elapsed-time bezel and flows into a wave-link steel bracelet. The screw-down caseback is marked Seiko, Giugiaro Design, Diver's 200m, Stainless Steel, 5M42-0F20, Made in Japan. Inside is the Seiko 5M42 Kinetic movement, which converts wrist motion into electrical energy to power its quartz timekeeping; a push-button shows the power reserve using the seconds hand.

Brand heritage

Seiko traces its origins to 1881, when Kintaro Hattori opened a watch and clock shop in Tokyo. The company launched the world's first quartz wristwatch, the Astron, in 1969, and in 1988 introduced the first Kinetic (AGS) watch, which generates its own electricity from the wearer's movement.

Seiko's collaboration with Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Italian designer behind many famous cars, began in the early 1980s and produced some of the brand's most original-looking watches.
