Model History:
The Seiko Seikomatic Ref. 6218-8971 is a high-grade automatic model from the mid-1960s, produced by Suwa Seikosha during a period when Seiko was rapidly advancing its mechanical watchmaking capabilities. Positioned above entry-level automatic lines, the Seikomatic series showcased refined finishing, robust construction, and technically advanced movements that would later influence both King Seiko and Grand Seiko development.
Powered by the calibre 6218, a 35-jewel automatic movement, this model was designed with a strong emphasis on reliability and precision. It features a day-date complication with semi-quickset functionality, operated through the crown. The original dolphin medallion on the caseback highlights its “Water Proof” construction, a notable feature for the era.
