Seiko Bracelet
Why We Love It
This piece has undeniable charisma. The triangular dial immediately commands attention, but it sits comfortably within the cushion-y rectangular gold-tone case. Integrated seamlessly is a bracelet composed of links complimentary in design. With this piece some might ask ‘why?’. To that we respond ‘why not?’. If you got it, flaunt it, baby.
About the Brand
Seiko is the brand that collectors often start with and, just as often, come back to for Seiko timepieces consistently have so much value to offer in regards to their construction, design, and functionality. For nearly half a century since its founding in 1881, Seiko has been manufacturing high quality timepieces at every price point. Seiko can’t be pigeon-holed either because from dress watches to divers to racing watches, all accompanied by always reliable and accurate mechanical or quartz movements, the brand has succeeded at delivering models suitable for just about every category of life. Now that Japanese watch-making has been finally given the long-deserved recognition in recent time as a stalwart competitor to the Swiss houses, collectability for vintage Seikos in quality condition are steadily beginning to climb.
