BaselWorld 2008: New Seiko Sportura Watches Seiko introduces new Motor Sport inspired Sportura watches at the BaselWorld 2008.

For 2008, the choice of Seiko Sportura chronographs is widened yet further by the addition of an entirely new double retrograde caliber, and a delightful series of chronographs for women. And SEIKO's support of the Honda Racing F1 Team is celebrated in a new watch that proudly bears the team livery and which will be worn by the team during the 2008 season.
The SEIKO Sportura Double Retrograde Chronograph (photo) presents elapsed time in a uniquely legible style, so that the immediacy and emotion of motor racing can be enjoyed to the full. The hands are designated by color; orange for the 3 chronograph hands and white for the 3 time-of-day hands. There are two dials for elapsed time minutes; at the 12 o'clock position is a 10 minute display for taking lap or short interval times, and, at the 6 o'clock position, is a 100 minute dial. Each minute is tracked on the upper dial until 10 minutes have elapsed, at which time it automatically re-starts and the lower dial hand moves to indicate that 10 minutes have elapsed. Up to 5 hours can be measured, all to increments of 1/5th second.
The SEIKO Sportura Double Retrograde Chronograph will sell for about 600 Euro (~$944) Via this Seiko press-release.
