Brand heritage

Seiko was founded in Tokyo in 1881, when Kintaro Hattori opened a shop selling and repairing watches and clocks. The company made Japan's first wristwatch in 1913, and in 1969 introduced the Astron, the world's first quartz wristwatch. The Seiko 5 line, launched in 1963, offered automatic winding, day-date, water resistance, a hidden crown at 4 o'clock and a durable case, and became one of the best-selling mechanical watch families ever made.
