Brand heritage
Seiko began in 1881 when Kintaro Hattori opened a watch shop in Tokyo. The company made Japan's first wristwatch in 1913 and the world's first quartz wristwatch, the Astron, in 1969. The Seiko 5 line began in 1963, the 5 standing for five core features including automatic winding, day and date display, water resistance and a durable case and bracelet. Its affordable automatics introduced millions of people around the world to mechanical watches.
