Seiko - Always One Step Ahead Of The Rest
Ever since 1881, Seiko has been enriching the watch industry with timepieces that speak of unparalleled watchmaking expertise. A brand that has progressed by leaps and bounds since its foundation, Seiko is today among the world’s largest and most coveted watchmaker brands. Being a non-Swiss watchmaking brand, Seiko watches have not enjoyed the premium tag its counterparts enjoyed. Though the brand caught up to it with their collection, the Grand Seiko. Seiko is known for creating revolutionary and out of the box watches. One such moment that brought Seiko to the western world’s attention was the TR02-01. It was featured in James Bond Octopussy, worn by Roger Moore. Why did it gather all that attention? Because it was the first watch with a TV screen. Even before that, while the Swiss watchmaking industry was going through the quartz crisis, Seiko watches were busy building over that crisis. Making it the first manufacturer of the quartz wristwatch, the Astron. The pioneers of quartz technology, where a timepiece is fueled by a battery. These timepieces were accurate and required less maintenance than their mechanical counterparts.
Spring Drive Technology
Moreover, Seiko watches have provided the horological world with a much-needed introduction to Japanese acumen. This acumen was brought in by the advent of Spring Drive technology. A marriage between electronic regulation and mechanical accuracy. A technology that changed the face of quartz movements altogether and provided these timepieces with even more accuracy.
A recipient of many awards and recognitions for its progressive approach towards manufacturing and innovation, Seiko has provided the horological world with many unique timepieces.
The Ambassadors
The brand is endorsed by Darya Klishina, a rising star of Russian athletics and Novak Djokovic, a professional tennis player. A rage among aficionados, their watches are sought after the world over. Seiko is equipped with collections such as Astron, Prospex, Presage, 5 Sports, and Premier.
The Astron
Astron has a few unique and important taglines under its belt. Such as being the world’s first quartz powered wristwatch and the world’s first GPS solar watch. Back in 1969 on Christmas eve, Seiko launched the world’s first quartz powered wristwatch, christened the Astron 35SQ. Now, the Astron collection is also a recipient of the world’s first GPS Solar watch. The watch has the capability to adjust itself to the time zone at the touch of a button and recharges its battery from the Sun.
The Prospex
A sports-oriented collection of timepieces, this collection is known to survive water, sky or land. Seiko launched its first diving watch in 1965 and since then has acquired the know-how of creating timepieces with strength and durability.
From recreational divers to professional ones, the Prospex collection prospers for both of them.
The Presage
The Swiss industry was known for crafting timepieces with a mechanical acumen. Japanese on the other hand had a more robust inclination towards electronically controlled timepieces. But with the Presage collection, Seiko has taken the mechanical world with its beauty, quality, and long-lasting performance.
The 5-Sports
Delivering quotients of reliability, durability and performance with top-notch standards, the 5-Sports collection is reigning over the mechanical watches segment for 50 years. Now, the collection is blessed with a revamped design, movement and zeal.

After 3 months, my search ended today with this beautiful stylish...at the same time classic looking watch.I thank the team of Ethos for helping me find this watch.Their suggestion was really good and i also got a good deal.
Probably the best machine you can buy for yourself/loved one. Its an epic engineering marvel that you can get. Although its priced at just Rs 70,000/- but let me assure you that its the most technically advanced watches in whatever higher ranges watches of big brands like Omega, Rolex, Tissot or Rado. Why am I saying this?
1. The watch is of kinetic movement. That means the battery never drains. Wear the watch for 8 hours and shelve it for 10 years, the time will be bang on time. ±5minutes/10 year at max.
2. The watch wouldn't be running at all the time when you have kept it shelved. That's the most beautiful part. When the watch is idle for 12 hours, all the Mechanical movements stops. Everything stops. But if you're going to pick it up after a week or a month or a decade, all the hands will move and show the right time. It's a patented technology of seiko and for this Rs 1,00,000 is also less.
3. The leap year function is way too good to be flaunted.
4. Signed by Novak Djokovic.
5. Japanese engineering at its best. And looks equally awesome on your hands, be it casual or formal, this watch will just blend.
6. Just go for it. ...view more
