Shohei Ohtani Chose this Watch to Sign His $700 Million Contract

Nice choice! Possibly chosen as a nod to Japan where he grew up and began his baseball career. He could’ve picked something MUCH more expensive given his pay raise.

Especially in regards to where he's from in Japan/Iwate. GS clearly resonates with him as he's not a things type of guy. Great taste and a good dude from what I've seen so far.... Even if I don't care for baseball.

He's a longtime brand ambassador. First pic is an Ohtani special edition with his Angels number 17 on the 9 o'clock subdial.

Adam you’re always a wealth of information re:Seiko.
Do you own any of those watches? Fess up, maybe the Bobblehead?
I saw the watch online from last pic where his autograph is on the LE box. Nice touch!

Hi Janet, no I don't own anything shown except the brochure on the table, which I picked up with some others a few years ago in Japan somewhere. I also took the Kansai airport photo, but more for the GS ad than the Ohtani. You can see Seiko/Ohtani ads and billboards all over the country, from the moment you arrive.

Great watch. Good taste doesn’t have to mean $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Nice watch.

He'll end up with AP or RM in time.

[RW16610]

He's a great brand and assessor, for sure.

Did it for the money!

Nice choice, indeed! How’s your pitching though?
