If pigs would have to fly for you to buy a $4000USD Seiko chronograph, then you're out of excuses

For fans of the prolific Japanese animation studio Studio Ghibli, the name Porco Rosso will be one you know intimately. He's the ace biplane pilot who learned the art of flying in World War I, before being turned into a pig and turning his skills to fighting pirate crime. He has legions of fans around the world. What does this have to do with Seiko, you might reasonably ask? Well, the Japanese watchmaker has teamed up with the Japanese animation studio to produce two limited edition watches, one of which is the Seiko Presage SRQ033J1 Porco Rosso Limited Edition.

The stylish pilot’s chronograph features a number of subtle nods to the Italian flying pig, including the stripes of the Italian flag in the 3 o'clock sub-dial, which matches the red, white and green stitches in the crocodile leather strap. If you flip the watch over, you'll be greeted by Porco Rosso's face on the sapphire crystal caseback, as well as the engraving, “Un maiale che non vola è solo un maiale”, which translates as, “A pig that does not fly is just a pig". If that wasn't enough, the 42mm steel watch also features a stunning enamel dial created by the Seiko craftsman Mitsuru Yokosawa.
