Now these watches are a bit more of what I think of when someone says to me “urushi painted dial.” As a follow-up to the Ananta Urushi Diver from last year, Seiko has released two new urushi watches for 2012. This time they remedied one of the principle issues of last year’s limited edition urushi watch. See those red stripes on the Ananta Limited Edition Kumadori Chronograph dial?

Seiko Ananta Automatic Chronograph Urushi Diver Ref. SRQ013 Limited Edition Watch Hands-On
There was not a lot of new Ananta action this year from super Seiko. I really like the Ananta collection (see the first Ananta automatics here and the first Ananta Spring Drive watches here) and would like to see Seiko continue to develop the range. One new model in the Automatic range was this limited edition [...]
Seiko Ananta NS_CONCEPT Limited Edition Watch Hands-ON
This is likely to be unlike any other Seiko Ananta watch you’ve ever seen before (or will ever see).

When I first saw this watch I was pretty sure that it was going to be a limited [...]
Seiko Ananta Spring Drive Titanium Chronograph GMT Limited Edition Watch
2010 sees three new Seiko Ananta watch models. The fanciest and most exclusive of which is this great looking limited edition Spring Dive model in titanium. Functionally, it has the same Seiko in-house made Spring Drive 5R86 movement as last years Ananta Spring Drive Chrono GMT model – but this new version is in a [...]
Seiko Ananta Automatic Watches
It has been a few months since I was in Japan visiting with Seiko. Shortly thereafter I wrote about the Spring Drive versions of their newish and impressive Seiko Ananta line of watches. If you recall, Ananta is Seiko’s first line of high-end watches for the world market. The watches totally changed my perception of [...]
Seiko Ananta Spring Drive Watches
This article is about two things. First, about the very nice Seiko Ananta Spring Drive watches (yes they are available in the US), and also about “what you need to know about the Seiko Spring Drive movement.” In addition to the Spring Drive version of the Ananta watches, there are also versions of the watches [...]
