Seiko
Unique
Explorer Numeral Dial / 1956


Intro

This Seiko Super manual winding watch from 1955 is a rare find, especially in such excellent condition given Japan's humid climate at the time (when air conditioning was not popular until the 1970s). The two-toned explorer dial is truly a beauty to see in person. This is a remarkable piece that any watch collector will appreciate.

Story

The first wrist watch model of Seiko with a center-second hand mounted concentrically along with the minute and hour hands. Earlier Seiko watches were designed with a small second hand located at the 6 o'clock position.

The Seiko Super was leading the domestic watch market in Japan in the first half of the 1950s. The first center-second model (a watch with the hour, minute, and second hands in the center) produced by the company, the Super was a market leader since its release in 1950 and has served as the model for further Seiko watch development (which evolved into the groundbreaking Seiko Marvel in 1956).
