The first full-fledged
three-hand watch from Seiko.Super


The Super was a three-hand watch that became the template for post-war Seiko watches, and the S above the Seiko symbol is commonly known as the “Hebi (Snake) S.”

A unique model with alternating Arabic numerals and wedge-shaped indexes.

Another three-hand model. The bright red second hand is a very striking design.

The Super, introduced in 1950, was a three-hand movement that became the template for postwar Seiko watches. Initially with 8 jewels, it was eventually upgraded to 17 jewels. It evolved to include water resistance and a calendar mechanism, and remained Seiko’s mainstay movement until 1956, when the Marvel was introduced. The models equipped with the Super were a big hit, with a wide variety of designs, many of which featured elaborate index shapes and finishes. The diameter of the case was around 27 to 30 mm due to the small size of the new Type 10 movement and the trend at the time, but as the trend changed, the size of the cases became larger, reaching 33 mm in the 1960s.
