New materials, new designs and new horizons for Velatura, SEIKO's marine collection

August 2009


The SEIKO Velatura collection is designed to withstand the most severe challenge that a watch can face, racing on the open ocean. From its launch in 2007, Velatura has offered to the professional sailor an ever-growing selection of marine watches, each with the robustness and functionality required for survival in even the harshest conditions. For 2009, five new creations join the collection, each offering the same high level of specification as their illustrious predecessors.

For 2009, SEIKO's support of the sport of sailing at the very highest level is also expanded. In addition to renewing the agreement with the 49er Association, SEIKO has concluded a new agreement with the 29erXX Association whose new-design skiffs are fast becoming accepted as the most exciting new class for the world's leading women sailors. This new agreement is celebrated in the launch of a new series of Velatura models for women.
