T656 - available in gold, smoke gray and charcoal; r.r.p.: under € 300

Willich, 7 September 2007. First-class folding spectacles are handy, collapsible and extremely practical – but unfortunately they have been very expensive so far. For the first time Seiko offers a luxury item at a reasonable price to those people who like wearing comfortable and robust spectacles. The new folding half-moon spectacles are made from pure titanium and have been electroplated. Consequently, they are very light, non-allergic, robust and corrosion-resistant. From now on this gem is available at your optician in the colours gold, smoke gray and charcoal and is kept in a small, stable hardcase.
