Seiko was born in 1881. At the time, the 22-year-old entrepreneur clothing department Kintaro opened a shop that sells and repairs watches in the center of Tokyo. This is how Seiko started. In 1892, Kintaro Hattori bought an abandoned factory in Tokyo and became the place where Seiko's first watch was born https://www.twatchclone.ru/.


In 1965, Seiko started to make diving watches, which became Japan's first diving watch. It can be seen that this watch is equipped with an oversized crown, rotating bezel, wide hands and dial scale. In Seiko's history of making diving watches for so many years, what I have to mention is the 600-meter waterproof watch in 1975. On this watch, you can actually see the shadow of Seiko's modern diving watches.


Seiko invested a lot of material and financial resources to create this 600-meter diving watch in 1975. It took seven years to create such a professional diving watch. Seiko used titanium for the first time in the diving watch. The crown is not at the usual 3 o'clock position, but it is set at 4 o'clock and is equipped with a screw lock. The special feature of this watch is that there is no helium exhaust valve, but a case structure that can prevent the penetration of helium. In the 1980s, Seiko also conducted an experiment and found that the 600-meter diving watch's helium permeability resistance is ten times higher than that of traditional diving watches.


After so many years of development, Seiko's diving watches have developed rapidly. The world's first saturated diving watch equipped with a quartz movement, the world's first hybrid diving watch, the world's first 1000-meter waterproof diving watch with a ceramic outer case, etc. Waiting for a foothold in the field of diving watches.
