Seiko

Seiko’s range spans from under $100 to over $20,000, and there are passionate collectors at every price point. The Seiko 5 has quietly become a gateway for an entire generation of watch enthusiasts. The Prospex collection covers serious dive and sport watches. The Presage delivers dress watches with distinctive dial craftsmanship. King Seiko revives the brand’s 1960s heritage line. The NH35 movement has become the foundation for an entire ecosystem of independent and microbrand watchmakers, and the Seiko modding community is one of the most active in the hobby. At the top of the range, Grand Seiko operates as a fully independent luxury brand, with the Spring Drive movement and Zaratsu-polished cases representing a standard of finishing that stands alongside its Swiss peers. A brand with more range and more influence on the broader watch industry than any single name suggests.
