Recommended comments:
This is an original watch from Seibido Watch Shop, which was founded in 1969 and will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2019, the first year of the Reiwa era.
All assembly is done at Shobido Watch Shop, where our technicians adjust the movement before assembling the watch.

There is no brand logo on the watch, making it a one-of-a-kind original watch. All aftercare is handled by our store, so you can leave it to us with peace of mind.

Based on the gold-colored Swiss ETA 6497 movement, the precision has been adjusted at Seibido Watch Shop, and when wound, you can enjoy a low beat of 18,000 vibrations per hour. The movement is engraved with the Seibido Watch Shop logo, giving it a unique, original finish.

Seibido 50th Anniversary Watch / Original Watch / Military Dial / Swiss Made ETA6497 Manual Winding MovementSeibido 50th Anniversary Watch / Original Watch / Military Dial / Swiss Made ETA6497 Manual Winding Movement

When it comes to manual-winding movements for Swiss pocket watches, the classic caliber, Unitas, developed by Auguste Raymond, comes to mind. Its fundamental structure dates back to the 1930s, and it is a long-selling movement that has been in production with almost no changes to its specifications since its introduction in 1968.

Because it is designed for pocket watches, even the base plate itself is large in size, and it is well known that it was used by Panerai in the past.

By the way, if the model number has a "-1" at the end, it has a low beat of 18,000 vph, the same as antique watches, while if it has a "-2" it has a 21,600 vph. The "-2" has a longer power reserve and is a custom model that was created later.

Although it is often used in wristwatches, the Swiss movement model for the Seibido 50th anniversary model deliberately uses the "-1".

The reason is that we want you to enjoy the low beat sound that is characteristic of old watches.

Regardless of the length of the power reserve, we recommend winding the mainspring of a manual winding watch once a day, preferably at the same time each day. We have deliberately not focused on a long power reserve, and have selected watches that have basic, uncustomized movements so that you can enjoy them.

Compared to the reasonably priced Asian movement types, which we want even beginners to watches to enjoy, our Swiss movement models are made with the hope that they will be loved for a long time .

The dial is not specially decorated, but the movement is engraved with the store's logo as proof that it was assembled at Seibido Watch Shop, giving it a special finish that cannot be found anywhere else.

Of course, please feel free to leave future maintenance such as overhauls to us.

The dial and hands are coated with Luminova, which has the practical function of emitting light in bright places such as sunlight or fluorescent lights, and emitting light in the dark.

▼A comment from Hiroshi (50s) who purchased the Seibido 50th Anniversary Watch, an original wristwatch with a military dial and a Swiss-made ETA6497 manual winding movement.
■Question 1: What made you decide to purchase the product?

I was looking for a simple hand-wound watch with a see-through back, and this was exactly what I was looking for at an affordable price.

■Question 2: What was it about the product you purchased that attracted you?

It had a simple design, a hand-wound ETA movement and a 6497 movement, the movement was simple but beautiful with no decorations, and the price was reasonable so I thought I could wear it everyday without any worries.

Also, I was born in the same year your company was founded, and this watch was a commemorative item for that company's founding.

■Question 3: If you have any advice about our customer service or service, please let us know.

I am grateful to Mr. Goda for explaining things to me so carefully, even though we spoke via LINE and on the phone in the middle of the night.

However, when it comes to mechanical watches, I would like the power reserve to be written on the watch.

■Question 4: If you don't mind, please tell us your occupation.
