Hello,

I am selling my Seiko SilverWave from June 1981:

Sober and dressy watch, typical of the late 70's / early 80's.
Model reserved for the Japanese market (JDM - Japan Domestic Market).
Attractive textured white dial, with applied logos and indexes.

It can be seen in volume 1 of the Seiko catalog from 1981 (page 33):

The Silverwave was intended to be able to go into the water, hence the fact that it has a screw-down crown:

Rare model on the second-hand market, especially with this dial and its original bracelet!

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	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.
