Here we’ve got a Seiko F231 from November of 1979. This was at the time the second thinnest quartz watch in the world, and still to this day remains one of the thinnest digital watches ever made. This was from an era when digital watches were some of the most hyped and expensive watches a person could buy. All stainless steel with a beautiful textured display. Condition is practically unworn, really excellent shape, does not look a single one of its 46 years. Bracelet is super tight, no stretch whatsoever, no scratches on the crystal, even the caseback looks brand new. Super rare to find a watch like this in this condition. Priced to move at $100. Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or Cashapp, shipped free CONUS only. Thanks!

	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.
