In 1982 Seiko built a digital watch that changed modes by turning its bezel. It was called the Rotocall, the mechanism was a rotary switch, and Seiko notes that it found a following among astronauts. The Seiko HFL001P1 brings that idea back for the company's 145th anniversary — the bezel is still the control, and turning it still moves you through the functions.
Seiko was founded in 1881, and the anniversary collection is split into three design themes. This reference belongs to Series 3, built around Edo-murasaki — Edo purple — which Seiko uses to mark the traditions carried from ancient Edo through to modern-day Tokyo. Here it appears as a purple aluminium bezel set against a black case and bracelet with gold-tone accents, on a 37.0mm digital watch that runs a 100-hour chronograph timing to 1/100th of a second, an alarm, a timer, a second time zone and a calendar programmed to 2074.

Why You'll Love It
- The bezel is the interface. Rather than pressing a button repeatedly to cycle through modes, you turn the bezel — the idea Seiko introduced on the 1982 Rotocall and has revived here.
- A chronograph that runs to 100 hours and resolves to 1/100th of a second, from a sprint split to a four-day event.
- Edo purple against black. The anniversary colour appears on the aluminium bezel, which keeps the rest of the watch wearable rather than turning it into a novelty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Rotocall?
A Seiko digital watch from 1982 whose defining feature was the rotary switch — a mechanism that let the wearer change modes by turning the bezel rather than pressing through them. Seiko notes that the original found a following among astronauts. This reference is based on that design.
Can I swim and shower with it?
Yes. Seiko's guide for 10 bar watches allows accidental splashes, rain, swimming, yachting, showers, bathing and shallow diving. It does not allow scuba or saturation diving, and Seiko gives this watch no diver's designation. Rinse it in fresh water after the sea or a pool. Water resistance is not permanent, so have it checked regularly.
What warranty does this watch come with?
The HFL001P1 comes with a 3-year warranty when purchased from City Chain Singapore, an authorised Seiko retailer. Keep your warranty card and proof of purchase — both are required when submitting the watch for service.
