It is part of the "TYPE II" series, which Seiko developed to popularize quartz technology for the public. Historically, the TYPE II series was developed as a mid-range model during Seiko's transition from high-end quartz to more affordable models in the 1970s. Seiko revolutionized the global wristwatch market with the "Quartz Revolution" of the 1970s. After introducing the world's first mass-produced quartz wristwatch, the "Quartz Astron," in 1969, Seiko expanded its technology from its high-end "Quartz" line to the mid-range and popular price ranges, offering a wide range of models that combined reliability and practicality. The Type II series, positioned as the core of this trend from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, was a series focused on balancing precision, durability, and cost for everyday use. It bridged the gap between high-end models (Grand Quartz, King Quartz) and popular models (SQ, etc.) and was embraced as a "Seiko-like, realistic solution."
