The luxurious design of the first automatic watch made in Japan.The launch of the Automatic


Launched in 1956, this watch features a power reserve indicator, known as the “winding mark” at the 12 o’clock position of the dial.

The indexes are designed three-dimensionally. The shape of the dial gives the product a special feeling.

The Gyro Marvel, with its distinctive gyroscope mark, was the next to be launched. This was followed by a number of automatic watches.

The Automatic was launched in 1956. It was the first automatic (self-winding) watch commercialized in Japan, and also had a manual winding function. The scale below the 12 o’clock index, called the “winding mark,” is used to indicate the remaining operation time. The logo was designed with an S mark, commonly known as the “Hebi (Snake) S.” The hour and minute hands are beautifully edged, as are the twelve indexes, giving the watch an elegant, three-dimensional look. Later, many automatic watches were introduced, such as the Gyro Marvel and Seiko Matic, which were decorated with the gyroscope mark as a symbol of an automatic watch.
