For sale is my 1964 ref 45899 hand-winding Seiko monopusher chronograph. I have another 45899 so I've decided I can bear to let this one go. :-|

This was Seiko's first chronograph, released for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics with the Olympic torch on the back. Nice example, with some wear as expected for a 60 year old watch. It has a beautiful sunburst charcoal dial and clean lume plots and hands. The watch retains its original intact bakelite bezel (rotating smoothly), which was often replaced during service with a stainless service part. The 37mm case is sharp, showing prominent chamfers. The case-back shows typical wear, but is still visible. I had the watch serviced in 2021 by Vintage Time Australia (Adrian Sellick) and it is winding, setting, and running.

My asking price is $1,385 USD by PP F&F, Zelle, bank wire, or other fee-free electronic payment. The watch and I are in the US (Colorado). Shipping included within the US.

	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.
