Seiko has announced the “Mitsuru Adachi’s Touch 45th Anniversary Watch”, a special commemorative timepiece celebrating 45 years since the launch of Mitsuru Adachi‘s beloved baseball manga Touch (タッチ). The watch is available exclusively through the PREMICO Online Shop in a strictly limited run of 4,500 units.

Design Details

Touch ran from 1981 to 1986 and remains one of Adachi’s most iconic works. The watch dial draws its color scheme from the black-and-white uniform of the Meisei Academy baseball team, with a host of series-specific design touches:

• The 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions each feature one of the four bases from a baseball diamond.
• The sub-dial at 3 o’clock is decorated with a baseball motif.
• The sub-dial at 9 o’clock features a baseball glove, referencing the story of Tatsuya and Kazuya.
• The 1 o’clock position bears a gold “M” — a nod to Tatsuya’s jersey number and the Meisei school initial.
• The outer ring of the small seconds sub-dial is inscribed with “MEISEI”.

The caseback is engraved with an image of Minami saying “Take me to Koshien,” alongside the series logo and each watch’s individual edition number.

Packaging and Price

The watch is priced at ¥65,780 (tax included) and comes presented in a special box featuring the series logo in foil stamping. Orders are open now through the PREMICO Online Shop while stock lasts.
