Brand heritage

Seiko was founded in Tokyo in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori and grew into one of the few fully integrated watch manufacturers in the world, making its own movements, hairsprings and even crystals. It produced Japan's first wristwatch in 1913 and the world's first quartz wristwatch, the Astron, in 1969.

The Seiko 5 line was launched in 1963 around five core features: automatic winding, day-date display, water resistance, a recessed crown at 4 o'clock and a durable case and bracelet. The 6119 is one of Seiko's most reliable 21-jewel automatic calibres.
