Look back at pictures of conflicts from the past six decades, and you are bound to see one thing: Seiko watches on the wrists of military personnel, often on both sides. For the same reasons that the Toyota Hilux and Land Cruisers are commonly spotted in war zones—relatively low cost and legendary reliability—Seiko watches have adorned the wrists of hard men in hard places for decades. But it wasn’t always this way.
In our new episode on the W.O.E. YouTube Channel, we discuss Seiko’s rise among the military and special operations while also identifying key models with close ties to our community.
