The picture of modern elegance, this dress watch from Seiko shines in goldtone stainless steel. The perfectly round steel case measures 21 mm in diameter and has a stylishly thin profile. It frames an elegant black and charcoal dial featuring goldtone dauphine hands, a slender seconds hand, and goldtone hour markers. A durable Hardlex crystal protects the dial and resists scratches. This Seiko watch is outfitted on a textured black leather strap that fastens with a goldtone buckle. It boasts reliable Japanese quartz movement and is rated water resistant to 30 meters. In 1877, at the age of 18, Kintaro Hattori set up business repairing the Western-style clocks that were becoming increasingly popular in Japan. By 1892, Hattori was manufacturing his own clocks in a factory he called Seikosha, from the words "seiko" meaning "exquisite," "success," or "miniature," and "sha" meaning "house." The company grew and prospered, producing its first wristwatch in 1913 and launching the Seiko brand in 1924. Technological innovation has always been a driving force in the company's history. Key milestones include Seiko's introduction of the world's first quartz watch in 1969, and its successful launch, in 1988, of the Kinetic, the world's first battery-free watch with quartz accuracy. Recognized for its technological excellence, Seiko has provided timekeeping services for the Olympic Games and the World Cup Soccer Championships. Today, the Seiko brand continues to stand for state-of-the-art technology, as well as superior quality and refined design.
