Is Seiko a luxury watch?

Seiko is one of the top watch brands in the world. They have their own in-house movement factory where they develop and manufacture some of the best watch movements globally, many of which are used by other luxury watchmakers for their timepieces.

Seiko is known for its precision, reliability and excellence in design - attributes that have made it a trusted name in timepieces since 1881. It's also known for being accessible. Seiko has been making affordable luxury watches for decades, and it's widely regarded as a manufacturer of high-quality timepieces that won't break the bank. The Credor line, one of Seiko’s luxurious finishes, has highly decorated handmade movements that are only available as special order pieces and may take up to a year to produce. Some models cost several hundred thousand dollars each and are considered by many to be on par with true luxury brands.

Is old Seiko watches valuable?

Yes. In fact, many older Seiko watches are very valuable.

Seiko has been producing its own movements since 1959 and these are generally quite robust and reliable. Seiko has been making mechanical watches for over 60 years and they have produced some beautiful and interesting pieces in that time. Most of the vintage mechanical watches were made in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

The Seiko 7A series is a family of automatic movements from Seiko that provide timekeeping accuracy of between -15 to +25 seconds per day, approximately 40 hours of power reserve, date calendar, hacking second hand (stop-second function), 24 jewels and manual winding capability. The first movement was introduced in 1968.

Can you manually wind a Seiko automatic watch?

The short answer is yes, you can wind a Seiko automatic watch by hand. To manually wind your Seiko watch, simply find the crown on the right-hand side of your watch and pull it out to position 2 which is the manual winding position. All you need to do now is simply turn the crown clockwise 10-20 times in short sharp movements. You will feel some resistance as this builds up tension in the mainspring. Once you have done this, push the crown back into position 1 which is the normal running position and your watch should now be fully wound up and ready to run.

How to check Seiko's serial number?

Every Seiko watch has a serial number on the case backing. The first number in the serial number is the last number of the year in which it was made. Next, look at the first two digits of the serial number. These numbers will increase with each new model made.

For example: If your serial number starts with 9A, it means that your Seiko watch was manufactured in 1979 (9) and that it is the 1st watch made that day (A). Visit our online store to buy Seiko watches at a price point that's right for you.
