Seiko 60th Anniversary Automatic Limited Edition Overview
To commemorate Seiko’s first automatic wristwatch released in 1956, the brand introduced the
Seiko 60th Anniversary Automatic Limited Edition Presage Chronograph in 2016.
This limited edition watch combines classic design cues from early Seiko models with modern
mechanical innovation, offering collectors a heritage-inspired timepiece with contemporary reliability.
Dial and Heritage Design
The watch features a white enamel dial crafted by Japanese enamel master
Mitsuru Yokozawa. Arabic numerals are inspired by Seiko’s first wristwatch,
the 1913 Laurel. The dial includes three sub-dials: small seconds at 3 o’clock,
a 12-hour chronograph counter at 6 o’clock, and a 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock. A round date
window is elegantly positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock.
Case and Movement
Housed in a 42mm stainless-steel case, the watch is powered by Seiko’s Caliber 8R48
automatic movement, featuring a column-wheel chronograph mechanism, 311 components, and a 45-hour
power reserve. A specially finished gold-toned rotor is visible through the sapphire caseback,
highlighting the movement’s fine craftsmanship.
Collectibility and Features
The Seiko 60th Anniversary Automatic Limited Edition is a perfect blend of
heritage-inspired design, technical precision, and mechanical sophistication. Limited in production,
it is an ideal choice for collectors seeking an elegant and historically significant timepiece.
