Established in 1881 by Kintarō Hattori, Seiko is defined by its principle of complete vertical integration, manufacturing every single component of its timepieces in-house. They were the primary catalyst of the "Quartz Crisis" with the commercial release of the 1969 Astron—the world’s first quartz watch—the brand simultaneously advanced mechanical horology, developing one of the first automatic chronographs and pioneering high-frequency movements to challenge Swiss standards.
Seiko's relentless innovation continues with proprietary technologies like Spring Drive, which blends mechanical power with quartz precision. This technical mastery underpins Seiko's legacy in creating archetypal and exceptionally durable tool watches, particularly in the domain of professional diving.
