Concept:

The Seiko 5Actus SS, the ancestor of the modern-day Seiko 5 series.

Many may not know where the 5Actus comes from, the 5 from 5Actus is actually Seiko's 5 principal attributes of design

1. Diaflex (unbreakable mainspring),
2. Diashock (Seiko's shock-resistant design, equivalent to the Swiss "Incabloc"),
3. Automatic winding,
4. day/date indication, and
5. Water-resistant.

All Seiko 5Actus watch are fitted with automatic movement, Seiko is so proud of its automatic movement they even hide the crown of the vintage 5Actus series in part of the case as users of these movements will not need to wind the watch up while wearing it daily.

An applied "SS" logo is also found on some of the Seiko 5Actus models which mean the short form of Second Setting. Examples with the SS logo are housing movement with hacking function.

This particular Seiko 5 Actus SS example 6106 7440 manufactured in 1969 was fitting a cushioned case with the crown of the watch perfectly blends into part of the watch case. Besides, the date changing mechanism of the movement is rather special. By pressing the crown into the watch, the date will click and change automatically. Because of its complex mechanical setup and users' misunderstanding, a large number of the vintage Seiko 5 movement's date-changing functions are broken in years of operating. We are proud to offer an example that works perfectly fine.

The case of this 6106 7440 perfect to pair with a nato strap and fit for all occasions.

In a watch with this age, it is an Epic piece.

Vintage Watch | Seiko Lord Marvel 36000 (silver case)

Vintage Watch | Seiko Lord Marvel 36000 (silver case)

$498.00 USD

Concept:

The first true high beat watch movement in Japan and second in the world. The Seiko Lord Marvel 36000.

When exploring Vintage Seiko dress watches, Grand and King Seiko often come to collector's mind at first because of their high finishing standard and technological development. However, Seiko chooses to give the glory of the 1st high beat movement to Lord Marvel back in the 1960s.

During the 1960s, the majority of watch movements beat at 18,000 beats per hour. Watch companies sought to build a high beat movement for higher accuracy. Girard Perregaux comes first in the world on building the first 10 beats per second movement. Shortly after GP, Seiko launched their manual winding caliber 5740C - the first 36,000 bph watch movement in Japan and second in the world.

This technological breakthrough surely brought Seiko into the world stage of watchmaking. Seiko had made a special decision of fitting this special calibre into the Lord Marvel line because the line is always a technology challenger of the brand. This makes Lord Marvel 36000 the first Japanese watch to house a True high beat watch movement.

The technological breakthrough of calibre 5740 fitted in Lord Marvel earns Seiko an important international reputation among watchmaking industries. The calibre not only brought the brand closer to the international stage, it also lays the foundation of the Hi-Beat Grand Seiko movement we see in the market today.

Vintage Watch | Seiko UFO Yachtman Chronograph 6138

Vintage Watch | Seiko UFO Yachtman Chronograph 6138

$685.00 USD

Concept:

The 6319 Movement

The Seiko movement in 6139 was known as one of the best chronograph movement Seiko have ever made.

Yes, Zenith El Primero and the Swiss company joint force Caliber 11 are the first to come to watch geek's mind when talked about automatic chronograph, however, it is Seiko that actually launched the first automatic chronograph movement 6139 and made it available in the market in May 1969.

With this 6138 movement, Seiko has taken one step further in the automatic chronograph movement by fitting an hour counter sub-dial in the movement. With this new feature added to the movement, the user of the watch can time accurately beyond 1 hour and for hours within a day.

Seiko movements are known to be durable and tough, so tough that it has been taken into space by astronaut Colonel William Pogue in his 1973 space mission. Pogue took the bigger brother of the 6138 the Seiko 6139 as a personal item during his space mission and the watch survived the mission without a single problem.

The Seiko UFO

There are a number of special 6138 case reference, this particular one 6138-0019 Yachtman aka "Seiko UFO" gains its name by its case shape like flying saucer where the watch case is using a no lug design and the pushers and crown all designed to be well proportional with the case shape. The watch was fitted with a black dial with silver sunburst sub dial on top. To give the watch an easy time measure reading, the chronograph marker on the sub dial is highlighted using the orange marker for easy reading and added the modern feeling to the watch. A red highlighting inner ring was added to the techymeter bezel of the watch to make it absolutely stunning to look at. The Seiko UFO with its almost 50 years of history has been nicely preserved. The lume of the watch was aged to amazing patina yellow.

The condition of the watch is amazing with its all original parts. With the hype of panda dial Seiko 6138 keeps rising every day , it's time for us to find truly unique hidden treasure from the market and looking beyond the hype.

To unleash its full sporty potential, we recommend to pair the Seiko UFO with a NATO strap. Next is to enjoy!

Vintage Watch | Seiko Seikomatic 6206

$290.00 USD $260.00 USD Save $30.00 USD

Concept:

To many vintage Seiko watch collectors, the 62 Grand Seiko is one of the holy grail in the collection, however the heavy demand from the market means that the 62GS are all pricing at a heavy premium and is out of budget for many of us. Therefore it became our quest to source an alternative from the market for all of our dearest followers.

Seiko back in the 70s have a practice when working on movements of a watch, they will build a base movement and fine tune the base movement into higher accuracy movement for their higher end watches. We can find the 56 series base movements using in both Lord Matic and the higher accurate one used in King Seiko and Grand Seikos. The same principle applies to the 62 series movement too! After the search from the historical Seiko reference book and the market, we finally settle our target on the vintage Seikomatic series manufactured in the 60s where they are housing the base version of 62 series movement.

The 62 series movement used in the Seikomatic watches are gold finished, has an 18k bph vibration rate, and Diashock protection. The 6206 movement was housing a wide variance of Seikomatic watches, with wide selection of dial layout, case material, day wheel format etc. This is essentially the workhorse movement at the time for Seiko.

The 62 series movement will later work its way up to become one of the finest movements Seiko have ever manufactured housing in the 62 Grand Seiko.

I was attracted by this particular example of Seikomatic 6206 8040 because of the following reasons.

The curved case lug of the watch case and sword hand resembles the design of the 6245 Grand Seiko, it was not as aggressive as the design of the 56King Seiko but design was clean and unique in the Seiko family.

The design of the dial was clean yet able to fit in so much information into the display (Time, Date, Full Day).

The edge of the dial was developed with a bronze / brown / tropical like patina, honestly I think the patina added more texture and uniqueness into this particular example.

With its clean design, Seikomatic was used to target the young businessmans sector, where they are targeted to pair with suits and worn to office daily.

With its timeless design, we are confident that it will be able to continue its mission to pair with your suit flawlessly for the next decades to come.
