Yesterday, it was reported that timepiece retailer Seiko will release the Misty Copeland limited edition watch. According to WWD, the design for Seiko Tressia Misty Copeland limited-edition watch was inspired by the many achievements. The packaging itself bears a ballet slipper pink shade which is directly inspired by Copeland’s position as the principal dancer in The American Ballet Theatre. The watch’s design consists 24 diamonds on its bezel, a mother-of-pearl face, with a watchband cast in silver and rose-gold tone metals. This watch is solar powered and doesn’t need a watch battery.
