The Watch

Seiko's 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.) established in 1937. Seiko 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).

Here we have a Limited Edition Seiko TiCTAC 35th Anniversary. It's a collaboration between Seiko and their Japanese retailer TiCTAC. Their vintage field watches inspired them. The 40mm stainless steel case has a mix of brushed and polished surfaces. You can be sure of a comfortable fit at 48mm lug to lug length and 11mm thickness.  A polished bezel holds a domed mineral crystal. The crown is slightly recessed between small crown guards. A matte black dial with Arabic 12 and 6  numeral indexes and batons are coated in faux patina luminescence.  The use of Cathedral hands covered in faux Luminescence continues the vintage aesthetic. When charged, it glows a bright blue-green. On the reverse, an exhibition screw-down case back. Inside an Automatic Seiko Cal. 4R35B 23 Jewels 21600 Beats per hour. Fitted on a brushed stainless steel Oyster style bracelet with a signed Golding clasp.
