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).

This 2019 Seiko Prospex "Baby Marine Master" SPB077 is a modern interpretation of Seiko's first "Professional" dive watches such as the famous 62MAS. A 43.5mm brushed and polished stainless steel case coated in a super-hard coating. The case shape sits on the wrist like a cushion, Seiko gets ergonomics so right. A lug to lug length of 50mm and a thickness of 13mm gives the watch an impressive wrist presence. Chamfered polished edges lead the eye towards the broad drilled lugs. On the right side at 4 o’clock a screw-down crown.

Broad sword and arrow hands are coated in LumiBrite complemented by a lume tipped sweeping seconds hand. On the reverse, an embossed Seiko Tsunami is in the centre.
