► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko Seikomatic 15031D men’s classic 30 jewel automatic dress watch from the 1960s, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM). The Seikomatic line represented one of Seiko’s higher-grade automatic offerings of the era and is highly regarded among collectors for its quality movement, elegant styling and historical importance within Seiko’s lineup.
The watch is currently running and holding accurate time. However, it will only run for a relatively short period before stopping and will require service in order to function properly. The issue has not been diagnosed and I am unsure what repairs may be needed.
The watch is fitted on a gold tone expandable stainless steel bracelet. I am unsure whether the bracelet is original to the watch.
The watch is in good physical condition with signs of use and age consistent with a vintage timepiece. It has developed a very appealing vintage aesthetic over the decades. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully prior to purchase.

► ARCHIVE FILE: SEIKO — BRAND HISTORY
Seiko begins with Kintaro Hattori, who opened a shop selling and repairing clocks in Tokyo's Ginza district in 1881, at the age of twenty-one. He founded the Seikosha factory in 1892 to manufacture wall clocks, built Japan's first wristwatch, the Laurel, in 1913, and put the Seiko name on a dial for the first time in 1924. By mid-century his successors ran one of the most vertically integrated watch companies on earth, making everything from hairsprings to cases under its own roof.
