► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko Super 11026 classic manual wind dress watch from the 1950s, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM). This elegant early Seiko is powered by a Seikosha manual wind movement and represents an important period in the company’s postwar history. Based on the serial number, this example dates to the mid-1950s.
The watch is in full working condition and is running and holding accurate time over a 24-hour period.
The watch retains its original expandable stainless steel bracelet.
With a case size of approximately 27.5 mm, I consider this a unisex watch that can be comfortably worn by a wide range of collectors and enthusiasts.
The watch is in very good physical condition for its age and has developed a very attractive 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.
