Seiko Unveils Limited Edition Los Angeles Dodgers Watch to Celebrate Shohei Ohtani’s Move
In a stunning tribute to Shohei Ohtani’s recent move to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seiko has unveiled a limited edition model adorned with the team’s iconic colors. This exclusive release marks the first of its kind since Ohtani joined the Dodgers in December of last year, showcasing his relentless pursuit of excellence both on and off the field.
A Design That Reflects Team Spirit
The watch features a striking blue ceramic central row on the bezel and bracelet, mirroring the Los Angeles Dodgers’ team color that symbolizes reliability. Accentuated with vibrant red, a nod to the team’s logo, this color scheme is unique to this limited edition and is not found in regular models. Adding a personal touch, the subdial at the 9 o’clock position is emblazoned with Ohtani’s uniform number, “17,” using the same font as his jersey.
Exclusive Online Model
The Seiko Online Store offers a particularly bold model with a cool black case and a blue dial, resonating with Ohtani’s determination for further victories. Red metal parts around the bezel’s outer edge enhance its exclusive appeal. The subdial at the 9 o’clock position also features Ohtani’s uniform number.
Distinctive Features and Presentation
Each watch back is engraved with Ohtani’s latest signature, the words “LIMITED EDITION,” and a serial number, authenticating its exclusivity. The package is further enhanced with a special box featuring Ohtani’s autograph.
