    Seiko Japanese brand of watches, is undoubtedly one of the main referals in the world of watches. It is one of the only manufacturers with experience in all areas of watchmaking. Its history goes back to 1881 being pioneers in the creation of the first watch with quartz movement in the world.

     

    When Kintaro Hattori opened a watch repair and sales store in Tokyo back in 1881, he never guessed that over a century later, we would be faced with one of the most prestigious watch brands in the world. Each Seiko watch is the result of more than 130 years of continuous innovation with the goal of achieving the perfect Seiko watch.

     

    One of the great milestones that has inspired other manufacturers was when, in 1969, the world saw before its eyes the world's first quartz movement watch that was 100 times more accurate than any other watch worldwide, beginning a true revolution. 4 years later, it would launch the world's first quartz watch with an LCD screen.

     

    Once we know Seiko's past days let's focus on today. Among the current models of Seiko watches the following movements stand out:

     

    Seiko quartz watches: As we have already mentioned, quartz was a before and after in the history of watches. Inside the Seiko quartz watches, there is a crystal oscillator, cut in such a way that it generates a constant vibration when a certain voltage is applied to it.

     

    Mechanical watches: This is an automatic movement used in some high-end Seiko models, firmly positioning Seiko as one of the best quality price brands in its automatic watches.

     

    Seiko Kinetic Watches: The kinetic movement is based on using energy from our body movements, storing it in a battery, without the need for a battery or replaceable battery. The Seiko kinenic combines the best of the 2 previous technologies.

     

    Seiko Solar GPS Watches: Thanks to constant innovation from Seiko, the Japanese brand, launched the world's first solar GPS watch. Seiko Solar GPS watches have automatic time zone adjustment anywhere in the world thanks to their ring antenna that receives GPS signals.
