If you prefer a digital display, you may want to consider a more casual style. Even when you’re dressed casually, a dress watch is an accessory that can help you stand out from the crowd. Dress watches don’t have to be flashy, but if you go big and bold, they can certainly make a statement. One thing to consider when shopping for a dress watch is what sort of finish you prefer. Contemporary and refined, with design elements in seamless harmony, the Heritage Collection is true to Grand Seiko’s values of extraordinary craftsmanship and precision.
For the bold at heart, our Prospex series stands ready, fortified with robust features and aquatic prowess to conquer every exploration and outdoor odyssey. First introduced in 1961, King Seiko became one of Seiko’s most technically innovative and stylish brands, noted for its sleek, dignified angularity. Today, after more than 130 years of innovation, Kintaro Hattori’s company is still dedicated to the perfection that the founder always strove to achieve. The story of Seiko began in 1881, when a 21 year old entrepreneur, Kintaro Hattori, opened a shop selling and repairing watches and clocks in central Tokyo. This Limited Warranty provides you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Seiko product purchased directly from can be returned for any reason within thirty (30) days after the product is delivered.
The inspiration for the name comes from the combination of Japanese words ‘seiko’ – meaning exquisite or successful – and ‘sha’ – meaning house. Hattori soon became known for his skills, producing wall clocks across Tokyo. By 1913, he had successfully created Japan’s first wristwatch, an adaptation on his pocket watch made in 1895. This then went on to become the official watch of Japan’s National Railway, which appointed Seiko as its official supplier. The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time collection is inspired by the Japanese tradition of finishing the working day off with a cocktail. Each timepiece is named after a drink mixed by Hisashi Kishi, head bartender and owner of Star Bar in Tokyo’s Ginza area.

In 1978, Seiko released the Twin Quartz watch to address the effect t of temperature on the frequency of the quartz crystal oscillator, which put a limitation on the accuracy of quartz watches. Seiko put a second crystal in the watch that is linked with a processor that detects the change in temperature and signals the main oscillator to compensate. The result was a huge improvement in the watch’s accuracy from five seconds per month to five seconds per year.
