Happy President's Day! Up for sale is this Seiko 5 SNZF17K1 “Sea Urchin” Custom. The stainless steel bezel has been upgraded to ceramic, as well as vintage-style domed crystal and Submariner-style minute and hour hands, with a red accent second hand. All custom components purchased from DLW Watches. The original automatic movement is in excellent running condition. This piece is no longer for sale through Seiko to my knowledge. As with most preowned watches there are small knicks and scratches but the crystal is unblemished. This is a great piece that punches above its weight in terms of quality for the price. Included with Seiko 5 box, no papers.

	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.
