Are you a Studio Ghibli fan? Prepare to be enchanted as Seiko Presage unveils its latest collaboration inspired by the beloved film "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind." Immerse yourself in the magic of Japanese aesthetics and secure your pre-order for the limited edition SARX119, available at WatchOutz.com.
This extraordinary collaboration marks the third partnership between Seiko Presage and Studio Ghibli, reflecting the spirit of "sincere Japanese manufacturing." "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind," a timeless masterpiece released in 1984, takes us on a journey to a post-apocalyptic world where a young girl named Nausicaa seeks harmony between humans, nature, and the mysterious "Frozen Sea." This heartwarming tale of love and courage resonates with audiences worldwide even after four decades.
The SARX119 captures the essence of "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" in every detail. Drawing inspiration from Nausicaa's intricate tools and machines, the watch features a rounded design with a vintage finish, reminiscent of a well-used tool. The enamel dial, crafted under the guidance of master enamel craftsman Mitsuru Yokozawa, elegantly replicates the soft luster and warm blue of Nausicaa's clothing. The coat of arms from her attire is delicately placed at the 6 o'clock position, adding a touch of authenticity.
Enhancing readability, the leaf-shaped hour and minute hands stand out against the dial, while the gold-colored second hand adds a subtle accent. The large crown, designed for easy operation, features blue glass inspired by the eyes of the mythical creature "Om" from the film. The leather strap bears the engraving "Omushi" on the inside, symbolizing the connection to the story's magical world.
Flip the watch over, and you'll be captivated by the mesmerizing movement of the gold-colored rotating weight through the transparent case back. The glass section depicts a poignant scene from the film, where plants sprout from the depths of the polluted sea, signifying the Earth's purification. It beautifully represents the legendary "Clothed in blue robes, descending onto a golden field" from the Valley of the Wind.
Equipped with Seiko's new caliber 6R51, the SARX119 offers high-performance precision. By removing the calendar function, the watch embraces the complete essence of the "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" universe. With a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, you can simply wind it up to the maximum, take it off on a Friday, and still enjoy its accuracy on Monday, without sacrificing the magic over the weekend.
With your order of the Presage SARX119, you will receive a special box adorned with a scene from the film, accompanied by a card featuring a heartfelt message from the legendary director himself, Hayao Miyazaki: "Let's live without being bound by time."
