The beautiful silver sunburst dial and classic 1960s dress watch proportions make this a compelling addition to any vintage Japanese watch collection. History The first Seikomatic models, powered by the 603 caliber, were released in 1960. The absence of manual winding allowed Seiko to recess the crown at the four o'clock position, emphasizing the watch's automatic nature. The early Seikomatic movement architecture served as the developmental base for the later Seikomatic Chronometer and the 62 Grand Seiko.
