Seiko Spirit Line History
The Seiko Spirit collection, part of Seiko’s legacy since 1881, is known for its exclusivity, primarily sold in Japan (JDM models Japan Domestic Market Model), making it a rare find elsewhere. Seiko, founded by Kintaro Hattori, has a history of innovation, including Japan’s first wristwatch and the world’s first quartz watch in 1969. The Spirit line reflects this tradition, offering watches that blend functionality with style, often sought after by collectors for their unique designs and limited availability.
