Brand heritage

Seiko introduced the Seiko 5 line in 1963: affordable, durable automatic watches defined by five features: automatic winding, day-date display, water resistance, a recessed crown at 4 o'clock (on many models) and a durable case and band. The calibre 6119, introduced in the late 1960s, became one of the most widely used Seiko 5 day-date movements of the 1970s and is known for its robustness.
