In 1881 Kintaro Hattori founded a trading company for Swiss watches in Tokyo. In 1892 he founded the company Seikosha Co., where initially only wall clocks were produced, before from 1895 also pocket watches and from 1899 watches with alarm function were made. From 1913 there was also a manufacturing of wristwatches.

The brand name "Seiko" (Japanese: precision) was first used on watch dials in 1924 and is officially used since the founding of the Daini Seikosha Co. in 1937. In 1959 Seiko founded the company Daiwa Kogyo Ltd., which was later renamed to Suwa Seikosha Co. These two companies, Daini Seikosha and Suwa Seikosha, continued to produce Seiko-branded watches in an internally-competitive basis. Eventually, Daini became Seiko Instruments, Inc. (SII) and Suwa became Seiko Epson Corporation. Today, the Seiko Watch Corporation belongs to the Seiko Corporation as a subsidiary of the electronics giant Seiko Epson.

Wonderful design with big bezel decorated with screws and bridge for crown protection. Very attractive dial in white, yellow and blue colors into the chrono subdials and hands. Very luminous hands and indicators for night vision.
