In 1913, Seiko produced the first Japanese wristwatch, and the brand has remained a pioneer in the watchmaking industry ever since.
Seiko introduced numerous industry firsts, including the first quartz watch (1969), the first automatic chronograph watch (1969), and the first GPS solar watch (2012). Thanks to these innovations, Seiko is recognized worldwide as a brand that consistently raises the bar.
