SEKI Shengdan Egg

What does the press feel like?

Start at the two ends of the Space Egg. The projecting post is the push button. The ring below the astronaut’s boots is the rotary lock.

With the button unlocked, press the post. SEKI attributes the distinct stages of travel and the pop that follows to a gear stop. For necklace or lanyard carry, turn the switch at the base to lock the button. A cord retainer on the sliding post provides the attachment point.

A contemporary account described the Rabbit’s rhythm as two presses for one pop. For the Space release, SEKI described a gear stop and a rotary lock. When comparing examples, look for the projecting post and then the lock at the opposite end. The two accounts describe different releases.

On the blue-visored steel Space Egg in the launch demonstration, the top post retracts and extends along the body axis. Turning the base locks or unlocks the button.

Read the motif, then check the material

The Egyptian, Rabbit and Space designs separate first by their front motifs. An astronaut face also calls for a check of the release.

On the Egyptian Egg, an eye with a red center sits above a winged scarab. SEKI lists the Christmas Rabbit twice, once in brass and once in stainless steel. The studio also called it the original Shengdan Rabbit when it introduced the Space Egg. Both Rabbit names refer to the same design.

SEKI announced the Xiaomang special edition on December 28, 2024, with the sale scheduled for December 31 at 19:00. SEKI describes a stainless-steel base with colored zirconium and white-copper inlays. In the studio’s original launch group photograph, a darker body and purple-looking visor sit beside a brighter body and blue-looking visor. The individual photograph on this page shows the former. SEKI announced a limit of 150 per color. Shanghai’s 2025 show introduced a black zirconium version. The studio said its weight and feel differed from the stainless edition without specifying which was heavier.

How to choose a configuration

Choose the action and motif first, then compare finishes.

For a button you can lock while wearing the pendant, begin with the stainless Space release. SEKI gives the two colors a shared specification of 17 × 17 × 37.8 mm and less than 40 g. For the Rabbit, match the seller’s material description to the documented brass or stainless configuration. Under mixed light, color alone is a weak material test.

For the black zirconium Space Egg, look for documentation that ties the example to that release. SEKI announced 50 units for sale during the show. That number describes the event allocation. The darker pendant in the original stainless release is still stainless; visor color does not establish the shell material.
