Complete guide to Seiko Zimbe

Seiko Zimbe

The Seiko Zimbe are a series of limited editions, exclusive to Thailand, which have been a great success among enthusiasts and collectors from all over the world.

Introduced in 2016 with the first reference SRPA19 (Gray Turtle), the Zimbe series takes its name from the Japanese pronunciation of whale shark (Jinbei Zame).

Due to the high interest from collectors, and the low production numbers, the watches of the Zimbe series are much desired and sold on the secondary market at prices significantly higher than the original retail price.
