SEIKO - SILVERWAVE - GS slideshow
http://cid-3998751f47d8540c.skydrive...20-% 20GS? ref = 1
SEIKO SEIKOMATIC 6601-7991 "SILVERWAVE" Either the Great Wave of Kanagawa, symbol of the Seiko divers.
You may be interested to know that the first time that the famous "silver wave
symbol" that used a Seiko Silverwave was precisely in 1962.
Silverwave Series 1962
is the ancestor of the current dive 7S26 200m, and the father of all divers of the mark.
Just spurred by the Citizen that he had
won by the hand seiko, successfully introducing three years before
(1959), its first water resistant watch, (the PARAWATER)
Was that seiko decided to enter the world of diving watches
Along with the symbol on the back, also the first to have screw caps. and the first
automatic movement seiko with this type of case.
The dial is the first design of Seiko with a bidirectional rotating inner bezel.
He was also the most luminous needles of the time and the first 50 meters seiko to resist.
early versions were with
white dial / bezel blank
white dial / black bezel.
and rarer
sphere with nacre / mother of pearl bezel (CREMA).
The watch was very expensive (11,000 yen retail), for carrying a 603 (6201B) or caliber
automatic movement (62SW) with 20j.
Two years later, in 1964, production of the clock was stopped and was replaced by a less
expensive version.
The target market was to reach the younger
so the price had to fall apart.
Yen in 8200 was still quite expensive for young college-age but cheaper than the previous
model.
The watch was cheaper because the movement was changed to a caliber 2451 (66SW) with
17 jewels. In addition, only supported at 30 meters.
actually production continued for a short time.
The 50m by two years, from 1962 to 1964,
and the 30m three years, from 1964 to 1966.
30m perhaps the best I have seen is that of Alberto ..
DESPITE BEING A less expensive models,
The series 6601B, however, is particularly sought after by collectors in Japan, which is
similar to those found 66SA 5 series
Seiko 5 Sportsmatic (6619A w/21 gauge jewelry).
the design of the box "wave" looks exactly like the one currently in a variety of Seiko
watches,
7S26 from diving .... to its current line of watches as 300 Prospex professional.

Two Years Before silverwave Gama, in 1960
Seiko walked concentrated on making his mark
an internationally recognized brand
And throw the market its high-end watches to compete directly with the luxury
Swiss watch industry.
We have seen that the flagship high-end relojerai Actual is the range of seiko
Credor ..
However, for the purists of the brand, the best Seiko
NEVER were the ones who made almost 50 years ago
Seiko manufactures to compete with the Swiss
Gauges handmade one by one with 36 000 Hi-beat alternation
To understand the why of these tremendous efforts, technical and economic, made by Seiko to develop the Grand Seiko and manufactured only from 1960 until 1974, must watch to understand the reality of time The Swiss were the kings indicutibles the world watches and it was not easy to find a place on the high luxury market is still semi-unknown a Japanese brand that effort was just to gain prestige, it sought to take advantage of this international recognition not only to gain a foothold in the domestic market, the Japanese market but also in the high clock or watch High-end, then dominated by the organizations Central Clock .
To create these Grand Seiko, and gain international prestige, Seiko, went to work on two of its factories, Daini and Suwa Seikosha Seikosha, the best engineers, creating even internal rivalry, and developing different calibers in each factory.
In the 70's the best international recognition of the quality of a clock Competition was obtained from the Observatory of Neuchatel, different manufacturers, provided Switzerland, presented their models and were subjected to harsh tests of accuracy and only a few managed to Official Recognition the Centre.
Seiko, was presented to the contest for the first time in 1964, four years after having worked their teams in the two factories mentioned on that occasion, Seiko occupied the positions 153 and 144 in the contest. Three years later obtained the squares Seiko 4,5,7,8 and 12
and the following year, Seiko am 2 and 3. Unfortunately that was the last year in the competition held ... enough to expose the powerful Swiss watch industry. Seiko quality was such that Gs had continued it would have certainly won # GRAND SEIKO 1964

Seiko, resumed the manufacture of the Grand
Seiko in 1998, 24 years after the cessation of production, these watches are manufactured, assembled, adjusted and subjected to harsh tests, according to its own internal protocol to
quality and accuracy, more demanding than the current Swiss COSC standard.

SEIKO 7018-5000 "Monaco & Monza Response Ó Heuer Seiko We started with the series and most important of the 70
OF SEIKO, And the first model is the rare 7018-5000

becoming Heuer-Leonidas SA A few years later absorbed Heuer Leonidas and as
early as 1985 Techniques d'Avant-Garde acquired the majority shareholding from
its name brand Tag Heuer.
Well, At that time the Japanese were much given to "copy all", although not as blatantly as replicas of today .. They'll do it with
more class and implement its own vision of things ..
SEIKO 7018-5000 (1972)
The 7018-5000 was a version exclusively for the Japanese domestic market is not
exported so it is extremely rare and there are very few units in circulation

SEIKO 7017-6050 "Multibezel" Ó The Seiko Flyback
The 7017 is undoubtedly one of the rarest calibers
OF SEIKO, And of the few next to the 7016 and 7018
with Flyback function that manufactures the brand.
Mostly it is what makes them so rare, not just the fact
they were models for the Japanese domestic market, which
undoubtedly reduced their circulation, if not also be the only models that function
carriers seiko
A rare clock unit whose only "National" called me in the round nose of Alicante ..
This model is the most stressed
Also for his "THREE RING"
Hence these models are commonly known by the nickname "MULTIBEZEL"

since the design of the box was so successful,

A little trick to distinguish when a unit
