About Seiko 5 Watches

Although Seiko is famous around the world for its high quality quartz watches, many watch enthusiasts also appreciate Seiko for its lesser know automatic watches, primarily its Seiko 5 series.

Seiko 5 has been around for years as primarily a 'legacy' collection to satisfy the dwindling demand for mechanical watches. However, when public fascination with mechanical movements was revived in the 1990s, Seiko 5 became a hit with collectors of affordable, but unique timepieces.

Still incorporating many of the same vintage designs that recall watch designs of the 1960s, Seiko 5 watches also employ the same robust automatic movements that have demonstrated reliable performance for many years.
