Background and Objectives of the Renewal

Recently, the appreciation and demand for "vintage watches" and "domestic antiques" have been rapidly increasing globally. "LowBEAT," which has cultivated history and achievements in the antique watch field for many years, has decided to renew its website to further contribute its reliable knowledge to the digital domain. The primary objective of this renewal is "strengthening membership." We have made improvements to make the site uniquely appealing to users, fostering strong fan loyalty and differentiation from competitors. Beyond being just an information dissemination media and EC site, we will continue to develop various content and convenient services as a "comprehensive platform for antique watches" where enthusiasts and industry professionals can gather and experience true value.

Main Renewal Points

The LowBEAT editorial department, which has extensive experience with numerous antique watches and understands their appeal, will offer carefully selected products.

To commemorate this new opening, we will be specially selling actual pieces featured in the definitive catalog book for vintage Seiko, "JAPAN VINTAGE SEIKO," which was released on June 10, 2026, and has received a significant response from enthusiasts both domestically and internationally.
