1966 Seiko Seikomatic (Ref. 6218-8971) Day-Date

Although they may not be the most luxurious, Seiko watches are loved by collectors both at the entry level and by the most discerning collector with a cult-like following. There is a specific sense of satisfaction that comes from wearing a Seiko– you become a part of a long lineage of excellent watchmaking and extreme attention to detail in a resilient fashion across the range of Seiko timepieces.

First introduced in 1964, Seiko's Weekdaters were the flagship range of watches, featuring the brand's more classy designs of the era and offering a sophisticated take on the day and date watches that were popularized in the 1960s. The simple yet gorgeous dial layout oozes mid-century design and presents perfectly on the wrist.
