Seiko Star Time for Shohei Ohtani
Seiko has unveiled a unique, one-off watch named the Star Time, created specifically for baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani. Inspired by Ohtani's desire for a timepiece to represent the long trajectory of his career, the watch features a disc-based display capable of showing elapsed time up to one million hours, equivalent to 114 years.
- Unique creation for Shohei Ohtani
- Disc-based display shows time and elapsed time up to 1,000,000 hours
- Inspired by Ohtani's career trajectory
The watch features five concentric discs; the innermost indicates time on a 24-hour scale, while the others measure progressively larger periods of elapsed time: 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, and 1,000,000 hours.
The "17" on the innermost disc is red and oversized, a nod to Shohei Ohtani's jersey number.
The Star Time is described as an unconventional and philosophical watch for Seiko, with a design and function that is unusual.
The engineering behind the module for the five discs is complex due to the energy and rotation involved.
The titanium case has an arched profile design that helps to offset its considerable size.
The movement is a brand-new module based on an existing Seiko movement, with sparse information available.
