Now we aren't trying to suggest that Seiko manufactured clunky old LADAs (Reference to those boxy Russian cars), but it seems as if the brand has been hunting down designers over the past few years in its quest to expand their range. According to well placed sources, we have learned that its probably part of an internal shift in the company.
