The Background Story

Grand Seiko was launched in 1960, and back then as well as to this day, the creative minds and the technical team have been driven by one standard, which is to create a watch that can be viewed as the ideal watch. To achieve this lofty goal, the brand is obsessed with precision, beauty and durability. When you buy a Grand Seiko watch, you are buying something that you will own for the rest of your life.

Although the idea was always to create the ideal watch, the manufacturing of such a specimen was off to a slow start as the team spent much of those early years working towards creating all of the specific inner mechanisms according to their superior standards.

The introduction of the first watch was a great achievement, not only for the brand but also for the watch making industry. The first Grand Seiko watch was a resounding success and instantly met international standards. The brand was praised from the highest corners but the company knew that they would continually have to push for greater things, if they were to retain their incredible reputation.

This lead to the creation and the introduction of the Grand Seiko Self-Dater in 1964. This watch was designed with practicality in mind and was water resistant up to 50 meters. While it was a great outdoor watch, it could just as easily be used in the office setting, making it a versatile piece.

In the time since the manufacturing of these two game changing watches, Grand Seiko has continued to push the envelope and create the kinds of watches that both the outdoor adventurer and the busy office executive can find great use in owning.
