From Friday, the players and coaches of the FC Barcelona first team are the proud owners of new Seiko watches. The Japanese company became the club’s official timekeeper this season and its representatives were at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper today to present the watches before the training session.

The timepiece is called the Sportura FC Barcelona Chronograph, and has the FCB crest on the back. The event was attended by the vice president of the Seiko Watch Corporation, Mr. Takahashi, who handed the watches over to the four team captains and manager Pep Guardiola. Also present were Mr. Todaka and Mr. Wilson, executives of the Japanese company, who presented watches to the other players and coaches.
