SEIKO Prospex Automatic 20 Bar Land Series Compass Brown Leather Sports Watch

For over 50 years, from the Grand Seiko right down to Seiko 5s, watch enthusiasts have had a pretty good run. It’s no coincidence that a machine produced and assembled Sistem 51 costs twice the retail price of an entry level machine produced, yet hand assembled Seiko 5. None of the decorative touches is industrially finished but it is one robust tool watch.

JDM or Japan Domestic Model Seiko watches have been an open secret among watch

connoisseurs since awareness of their quiet geographical existence. The Seiko Presage models, notably the reference 
SARB and SARX series were among the initial collection of highly collectible, highly sought after, accessibly priced timepieces that had come to be emblematic of Seiko’s perfectionist watchmaking ethos. Eventually, the hi-beat, 300 metre diving, Seiko Prospex LE 1968 took home the Grands Prix d’Horlogerie Geneve Sports prize in 2018.It was telling but unlike what most watchmakers were wont to do – unilaterally raise prices, this was the general public appraising these timepieces according to their free-market values – a truly democratic, if overly enthusiastic appraisal of their worth.
