I'm working on a series of posts for assorted sub-brands of Seiko, and thought I would ask for help from all Seiko lovers here.

Let's not make it impossible by adding start/stop dates, just names that appear on a watch which you know is a Seiko, ok?

Key Points from the Discussion

Key Seiko sub-brands and product lines include King Seiko, Lordmatic, Lord Marvel, Chariot, Cocktail Time, Dolce, Seikomatic, Advan, King Quartz, Actus, and Sealion.
The 'Age of Discovery' series, encompassing both pocket and wristwatches with varying complications, is considered a legitimate Seiko product line.
The King Seiko line, particularly the Vanac-Series with its distinctive 1970s faceted crystals and colorful dials, represents a significant part of Seiko's history.
Seiko also produced watches under the Champion brand and licensed designs for Disney and Playboy branded timepieces.
The relationship between Seiko and Pulsar, and their use for similar watches, raises questions about brand differentiation within the same parent company.

Excellent Seiko post. ALBA has a small typo.

Also, I always wondered what was its difference to Pulsar, as at some point they were used for the same watches. All the best, Alex

King Seiko

There is also King Seiko in all their Variations, especially the Vanac-Series, with their strange 70ies facetted Crystals and funky colorful dials.
