Founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori, Seiko is famous for continuously pushing the technological boundaries of its products. In Japanese, "Seiko" means "exquisite," a fitting tribute to a brand that has made numerous marks in horological history:
1969: Produced the world's first quartz watch.
1975: Successfully crafted the world's first titanium diver's watch, resistant to 600 meters.
2012: Released the world's first solar-powered GPS watch.
