EDIT: I may have messed up the title, I thought these were pilot exclusives but I may be mistaken I bought this recently after hunting them down for a very long time--you can find plenty on eBay but they are usually beat up and running poorly. I bought this off a well-known member here and it is in spectacular shape, including the original strap and deployant. So, these were sold exclusively through the ANA catalog starting in 2003. It's about 40mm in diameter, and depending on where you measure it is 12-13.5mm in height (the crystal bulges at the center). I found it to be a very legible, unique design with all of the information I find useful when traveling (have to have day/date). I also struggle to wear it consistently because, despite being a big human, I love 36mm watches. So it sits, and that's a shame. **I'm asking $750 shipped, no trades.** Timestamp, video, lume: https://imgur.com/a/RYS5WD2

	Established:	1881

	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
