SEIKO and FC Barcelona share the same values and commitment to the perfection. Both brands achieved the highest quality, relying on their in-house development. The power of Barcelona’s team comes from its youth academy, La Masia. World best players, such as Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Pujol and others have learned the magic of game in amazing ‘football factory’.
