The idea behind the name Seikosha.
A brand name that takes us back to our roots.The Seiko Brand


An early watch bearing the Seiko brand logo. The highly legible Arabic numerals on the dial and the shape of the hour and minute hands give the watch an authentic feel.








The first watch with the Seiko brand logo was launched in 1924, a year after the Great Kanto Earthquake. Up until then, different brand names had been used for different products, but after the earthquake, the brands were unified under the name Seiko. This represented a return to the origin of the company name, Seikosha, which itself signified the intent “to make precise and accurate watches.” This was a time when the word “design” had not yet taken root in Japan. At that time, the craftsmen who made the dial plates used their knowledge and sense to beautifully compose the typeface and layout of the indexes.


The Arabic numerals on the main and sub-dials are each very unique.
