Essentially the younger brother of Seiko, Seiko 5 represents Seiko’s value collection of mechanical timepieces geared towards younger audiences seeking reliable yet value-oriented, fully in-house watches from Seiko. Coming in a whole range of exciting styles and fresh new designs, Seiko 5 watches deliver excellent craftsmanship, performance and unbeatable value.
The long journey of this Japanese watch company started in 1881 with the opening of “K. Hattori” by Kintaro Hattori, a watch and jewelry shop in the heart of Tokyo. Later, this 31 year old man, Hattori, bought an abandoned factory and began to manufacture his first wall clocks under the name of Seikosha in 1892.
In Japanese terms, Seiko has a meaning of “exquisite”, “minute”, or “success”, while Sha means “house”. As time went by, his business in producing wall clocks and pocket watches expanded quickly.
In the early 20th century, in the Taisho Era, the founder successfully created his first wristwatch using a mechanical movement because only a few timepieces were imported to Japan. Further, they continuously improved some innovations, making the debuts of the first world’s quartz watch “The Astron”.
Now speaking about Seiko 5, the new line-up, which was originally introduced in 1963, reconstructs the performa of the watch by adding 5 main keys. They provide you with an automatic movement, day and date indicator at 3 o’clock position, high water resistant, unbreakable mainspring, and a crown that is situated at 4 o’clock position.
Every Seiko 5 collection is made of a strong case with an automatic movement 4R36 that can withstand 100 meter water depth. Each collection has its own unique character. Below are their 5 new collections you need to know.
Sports Style is the biggest line-up that has more models among others. Since the brand offers you an automatic caliber, all dials are made in inner flanges. As you can see, the brand takes the dial in monochrome, while the indexes and the numerals dance exquisitely in various colours.
You can take this watch home with a NATO strap starting from $310 USD, or a stainless steel bracelet with an attractive bezel for only $330 USD.
