Hi everyone, I'm selling this Sarg001, a true gem from Seiko—a kind of proto-Alpinist, my favorite design from that entire series, which is difficult to find these days. The watch is in excellent, near NOS condition—no scratches or dings or dents, just very minimal light wear on the case. The crystal is clean. The bracelet shows more signs of wear; several of the links and the clasp have some significant desk-diving marks, as pictured. It's keeping great time. I do not have the box; it will ship on the pictured pillow, and on a brown leather strap from Barton. Asking $575, including shipping within CONUS.

	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.
