Seiko renews its collaboration with PDM, the Thai brand celebrated for distinctive home décor and furniture design that has gained a strong following across the region, including Singapore. The first joint creation between the brands was the unique bamboo cylinder packaging for the Prospex Bamboo Grove Limited Edition (SPB435J). This time, however, the collaboration has gone a step further, resulting in an actual co-designed timepiece: the Prospex PDM Limited Edition (SRPM03K).
PDM, or Product Design Matters, was founded in 2014 by Doonyapol Srichan, who set out with the vision of elevating Thai mats into premium global products. The brand’s creative direction is led by Finnish textile designer Sini Henttonen, and over time, its product range expanded to include bags, umbrellas and apparel for both men and women.
We have been following PDM’s development from afar, so when we learned that they were collaborating with Seiko to design a watch, we were genuinely delighted for both brands. We secretly hoped that the project might involve the Presage collection, which is always far too quiet in these parts. PDM’s design DNA would 52 REPORTS have integrated seamlessly into Presage.
Nevertheless, the decision to base this collaboration on the ever-popular Prospex line makes perfect sense. The watch features a 41.7-millimetre stainless steel case in the Samurai design, offering water-resistance to a depth of 200 metres. Its highlight lies in the blue dial adorned with PDM’s signature Stride Pattern, a geometric motif of triangles and squares that symbolises rhythmic, continuous movement. The unidirectional rotating bezel for diving, fitted with a blue stainless steel insert, complements the dial beautifully.
The Prospex PDM Limited Edition (SRPM03K) is powered by Seiko’s self-winding Calibre 4R35 movement, which provides a power reserve of 41 hours. Limited to just 500 pieces, it is presented in a distinctive triangular box designed exclusively for this edition. The watch was launched in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere surrounded by Seiko enthusiasts and devoted PDM fans alike.
To both Seiko and PDM, we would like to say this: We are eagerly waiting for a Presage PDM Limited Edition next year. It is a follow-up we would certainly be thrilled to see.
