This Seiko world time wristwatch encapsulates all that Seiko is known for: an iconic watchmaker with cutting edge design principles. Released in 1965, this watch was made to commemorate the 1964 Japanese Olympics, celebrating the international competition with the inclusion of different time zones and countries on the dial. The dial’s red and white colouring also allude to Japan’s flag. This watch symbolises the significant role both Seiko and Japan have played in the history of horology.
