For a company based in a country about which one of the prevailing stereotypes is collective uniformity of identity, Seiko is extremely diverse in what it creates – sometimes, and especially for newcomers to watches as a hobby, bewilderingly so. The watches made by Seiko run the gamut from simple, inexpensive quartz watches and the ever-popular Seiko 5, all the way up to what you see here: the Seiko Credor Eichi II, a hand-made, platinum wristwatch with a hand-decorated porcelain dial and a Spring Drive movement finished to within an inch of its life, made in extremely small numbers. This might just be the most interesting time-only watch on planet Earth.
