It was Steve Jobs birthday yesterday and as a way to remember the iconic Apple founder, Seiko has decided to re-issue Jobs' Seiko Chariot watch in limited numbers. The original watch worn by Jobs was sold for $42,500 by the Steve Jobs estate. Now, anyone who wants a similar watch can try and get the limited run ofl 33mm size and and a slightly larger 37.5mm variant. The company is selling 1,982 units with a white face, and, even rarer, 300 in black-face. These timepieces will ¥20,000 ($180) but will only be sold in the Japanese market.
The watch itself exudes a spirit of minimalism and smart design. With a matte black bezel, four screws and a clear, precise face. Like many Apple products, it is available in black or white.
