Pre-owned Seiko watches

Founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori in Tokyo, Seiko is one of the most innovative and influential brands in modern watchmaking. Starting with a small repair shop, Hattori had a bold vision: to produce Japanese watches as precise and reliable as their Swiss counterparts. In 1913, he brought this vision to life with the Laurel, Japan's first wristwatch, marking the beginning of modern horology in the country.

Seiko has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology. In 1969, it revolutionized the watch industry with the Seiko Astron, the world's first quartz watch, offering unprecedented accuracy. This breakthrough reshaped horology worldwide. That same year, Seiko also released the Seiko 6139, one of the world's first automatic chronographs, worn by astronaut William Pogue during the Skylab mission.

From the 1960s onwards, Seiko established itself as a major player in the dive watch segment with models like the 62MAS, followed by the 6105 (made famous by the film Apocalypse Now), the Seiko Turtle, and the iconic SKX007. Their durability, water resistance, and accessibility have made them legendary among professionals and collectors alike.

The Grand Seiko line, launched in 1960, embodies the pinnacle of Japanese watchmaking. Merging minimalist aesthetics with technical mastery, these watches rival the finest Swiss manufactures. With flawless finishing, highly precise Spring Drive and Hi-Beat movements, and refined, understated design, Grand Seiko timepieces are coveted by collectors worldwide.
