For sale is this vintage Seiko tank in excellent overall condition. The dial, hands, and case are in fantastic condition. The original bracelet has the Seiko logo on the clasp, and is sized for a 7.5 inch wrist. It is not integrated so it can be replaced with a nice strap if you wish. The case measures 25 mm, 30 mm lug to lug, and 18 mm between lugs. The quartz movement keeps excellent time and the battery was recently replaced. It has a few small scratches on the crystal and bracelet, and some wear on the crown, and I tried my best to highlight that in the pictures. Otherwise the watch is in excellent shape despite its vintage age. Asking $55 shipped to your front door (CONUS). Flexible on payment but prefer Zelle, CashApp, or Venmo. Thanks for looking!

	Established:	1881

	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
