Introducing the Redesigned Coutura Collection
New Brand Ambassadors and Revamped Design to be Introduced in Fall 2015
Seiko Coutura, the modern sophisticated timepiece collection for both men and women, will be ready for
its close-up this Fall with an exciting new campaign, highlighting both a fresh design aesthetic and Seiko’s
newest brand ambassadors, Jimmie Johnson and Misty Copeland. In addition, the Coutura assortment
will add redefined details and modern styles to the already renowned timepieces that will bring a never
before seen level of luxury right to the wrist.
Introducing Jimmie Johnson for Men’s Seiko Coutura
Jimmie Johnson, Seiko’s new face of the Coutura collection for men, is arguably the most dominant driver
in the last 13 years of NASCAR as a six-time NASCAR Champion with 71 career wins so far. Between his
perseverance to be at the top in his famed career and his personal devotion to both his family and
philanthropy with the self-founded Jimmie Johnson Foundation, Seiko is proud to share Jimmie’s
inspirational dedication to progress and impact he has on the history of NASCAR.

Introducing Misty Copeland for Ladies’ Seiko Coutura
Famed ballet dancer Misty Copeland, Seiko’s new face of the Coutura and Tressia collections for ladies,
also continues to make an exciting impact on history. As the first female African American in two decades
to become a soloist at American Ballet Theatre, Copeland is an inspiration to many as not only a talented
dancer, but an entertainer, author of the New York Times Bestselling memoir, Life in Motion, as well as
award-winning children's picture book, FIREBIRD, and philanthropist on the President’s Council on
Fitness, Sports and Nutrition. Seiko is thrilled to share Copeland’s passion for success and desire to be
one step ahead.

New Designs, New Coutura
Coutura continues to impress with a timepiece that offers an impeccable combination of luxury and
modern technology. For men, this new selection will offer Solar Perpetual Chronographs in bold colors
from blue to black as well as Kinetic Retrograde pieces that are impressively powered by the movement
of your wrist. For ladies, stunning Solar pieces with 24 diamonds on the polished bezel, mother of pearl
dial and Roman Numeral markers in classic silver, gold and two-tone designs upgrade the collection from
chic to luxurious. Most importantly, both Solar and Kinetic movements offer an environmentally friendly
way to wear a watch, with no battery change required.
