Seiko

1964 Tokyo Olympics

I didn’t want to let the Olympic fortnight pass without posting this one. One of two references created by Seiko to acknowledge their selection as official timekeeper for the 64 Olympics.

As I’ve shared before, this is a watch I bought several years ago when I stumbled across it while searching for something else vintage from Seiko. It was one of those chance meetings and I was immediately smitten.

My favorite Seiko. I hope to find mine, one day.

Hopefully you will. And the risk of these running away from you in terms of affordability seems pretty low.

Yours is in top condition. I hesitate between your dial and the black one.

Original bracelet. It does look good, better even, on the bracelet.

Yes. Essentially unworn, it went from someone’s drawer to my safe.
