Story & Heritage
Founded in 1881, Seiko is one of the most influential names in watchmaking history, internationally recognised for its innovation, precision and exceptional manufacturing expertise. In 1969, the company revolutionised the industry with the introduction of the Seiko Quartz Astron, the world's first commercially available quartz wristwatch.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Seiko continued to develop quartz technology while introducing increasingly sophisticated designs that combined precision engineering with contemporary aesthetics.

This vintage Seiko Quartz reflects that era through its geometric tonneau-shaped stainless steel case, striking blue sunburst dial and integrated-style metal bracelet. Its minimalist design, slender hour markers and balanced proportions embody the understated elegance associated with Japanese watchmaking.
The combination of a distinctive case shape and deep blue dial gives this model a timeless appeal, making it suitable for both collectors and enthusiasts of vintage quartz watches. An attractive example of Seiko's design heritage, combining Japanese precision, vintage character and refined everyday elegance.
