Over 700 Photos Featured: The Definitive 'JAPAN VINTAGE SEIKO' Book Released Today, June 10

JAPAN VINTAGE SEIKO (Limited Cover)

Seeds Factory Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Antonio Kamiya), publisher of the antique watch specialty magazine 'LowBEAT', today, Wednesday, June 10, 2026, releases the ultimate catalog book 'JAPAN VINTAGE SEIKO' BOOK, specializing in vintage Seiko watches from the 1950s to the 1990s.

This book boasts an overwhelming volume of over 700 photographs, with all explanations provided in bilingual Japanese and English. It has been crafted as a highly valuable reference work, intended to be a 'lifetime reference and storage book' kept on the shelves not only by general watch enthusiasts but also by domestic and international watch dealers, manufacturers, and researchers.

Response to the Global Vintage Seiko Boom and an Anniversary Year

Seiko has driven the development of Japan's watch industry and rewritten global watch history. Models from the 1950s to the 1990s, which encapsulate its卓越した技術力とデザイン, are now experiencing explosive acclaim and popularity as 'Vintage Seiko' both in Japan and abroad. While the market scale has expanded, there has been a lack of materials that systematically cover their appeal and verify details.

Seeds Factory, a publisher with a long history and track record in the antique watch field, has always held deep respect for Seiko's watchmaking journey. The year 2026 is a memorable anniversary year in Seiko's history. The company planned this book at this special timing.

To pass down the golden age of Japanese watches, now a 'global asset,' to future generations, the aim was to create a book that is not just a trendy buyer's guide but a 'textbook' for enthusiasts and industry professionals for the next 10 or 20 years. This book was born from that strong desire.

Features of This Book

Over 700 Photos, Bilingual Text: A 'Storage Book' for Enthusiasts and Industry Professionals Worldwide to Keep for Life

The pages feature over 700 rare specimens in pristine condition. All pages are in full color, reproducing the texture of the dial, the shape of the hands, and the finish of the case with a realism that feels like looking through a loupe at the actual item. Furthermore, in response to the growing global demand for vintage Seiko, bilingual Japanese and English notation has been introduced throughout. As it is not transient trend information, it can be used for a long time both domestically and internationally as a 'top-tier collector's item (storage book)' that can be kept permanently in a study, shop display, or bookshelf.

Absolute Reliability Under the Full Supervision of Magazine 'LowBEAT' and Yoshihiko Honda

In addition to the specialty magazine 'LowBEAT', trusted as a bible for antique watches, Yoshihiko Honda, a Japanese watch researcher with overwhelming support from collectors worldwide, has fully cooperated. By generously pouring in his deep knowledge and vast accumulated expertise, the accuracy and reliability of the content have been maximized. This delivers the highest quality, a milestone in watch history, achievable only through the collaboration of a specialized media outlet and a top researcher. This book comprehensively covers vintage Seiko from the dawn of the 1950s through the quartz revolution to the 1990s. It conducts thorough verification down to the smallest details, including the historical background of each model, structural features, and minute specification changes by production era. It is not just a photo book to enjoy browsing; it is a 'study book' and 'research book' for learning about authentication clues and details, possessing top-tier reference value that can withstand use as a sales manual in watch stores, a buyer's appraisal standard, and manufacturer archive research.
