Back to 1969!
Without a doubt, the most important year for wrist watches was 1969.
Omega Speedmaster was worn on the moon, as a true tool watch. What a
legend.
In 1969, the other side of the world, Seiko was making equally legendary
stuff too: humble, mechanical, self winding sports watches simply named
'SEIKO 5'. Above all: affordable and eye-catching.
By the mid 1970s the world was sick and tired of the Vietnam war,
demonstrations, conscriptions, energy crisis - and hungry for
excitement, international travel, mass-produced affordable watches,
Olympic games, photography, and solid, undiluted Rock and Roll. We were
ready for Seiko 5.
And fifty five years later, SEIKO is still here, to excite and
entertain. The two latest anniversary models sum up nicely the sport of
the era: the bright 'orange and black sector inner bezel' and the
tricolori RGB. Special edition, as marked on the case back.
And still at the price no Swiss manufacturer could match: only $495.
Both colours in stock - call 02 9232 0500 to place your order now. If

Happy anniversary SEIKO, well done.
