Hey Reddit, up for sale is one of Seiko’s most iconic vintage pieces, the 62MAS Seiko(MA)tic (S)elfdater, or 6217-8001 dive watch. This piece holds the historical position of being Seiko’s first-ever dive watch. To this day, the 62MAS has spawned many recreations and homages within the brand, including the replica SJE093 most recently for its 55th anniversary. With production only lasting from January 1966 to June of 1967, this piece is an incredibly rare watch to find, especially in this condition. This particular example has all applied markers and lume plots fully intact, including the dot at 12 o’clock on the bezel. There is some slight oxidation on the markers. The bezel is in good condition. This is the Big Crown variant with Horseshoe caseback. Please see pictures for condition. This piece has been serviced and all functions are working properly, including the quickset date. It is running at around +8 seconds per day (see album for timegrapher results).

	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.
