The Watch

Seikos history began in 1881 when Kintaro Hattori established the K. Hattori retail and repair store. In 1892 Seikosha was established making wall clocks. 1895 saw the production of their first pocket watch. 1913 saw the launch of their first wristwatch, the Laurel. In 1924 the first Seiko was manufactured. Daini Seikosha (now Seiko Instruments Inc.) was established in 1937. Seiko was listed on the Tokyo stock exchange in 1949. The Suwa factory became independent and formed Suwa Seikosha Co., Ltd. (now Seiko Epson Corporation in 1959).

The 2018 Seiko Prospex "Ninja Turtle" All Black SRPC49 is inspired by the world of night diving. 45mm stainless steel cushion case with black hard coating. A lug to lug length of 47mm and a thickness of 13mm gives the watch an impressive wrist presence. Fitting like a cushion for comfort.

Hardlex crystal protects the matt black dial, lumibrite hour markers surround, syringe hour hand, and broad arrow orange minute hand.
