Thanks. It should be on a dressier strap really, to look original, but it's quite large for its time (1965), with very thick lugs, so I'm trying it out on this more casual one

Being that it says chronometer on the dial did Seiko send it to COSC like the Swiss? Seems like I heard about how that used to work with Seiko and have since forgotten. And I would like to learn.

The only reasons Switzerland is still on top are design and branding. Seiko can't get out of its own way with Presage and Prospex and excess confusing branding and too many GS models. I don't know why Japan is so bad at Western branding...but they're objectively better at manufacturing watches. The only reason to get a Swiss one is if you think it looks cool! Which, it turns out, is the most important thing. Edit: The term "quartz crisis" could more accurately be described as "the time period where Japanese watchmaking dominated." The end of the "quartz crisis" for Switzerland was the beginning of a "crisis" for Japan. |
