Seiko Watches are still a value proposition even at higher prices
Seriously Awesome. From collaborations with Tic Tac, BAPE and now the three new "Black Series" Prospex dive watches, the Japanese watchmaker is hitting the right notes with watch enthusiasts

The finish of your “entry-level” Seiko, here a 35th anniversary TiCTAC edition is fantastic
Search internet watch forums and you’ll notice that from mid 2019, a common question was whether Seiko watches were getting more expensive. The short answer is, yes, Seiko watches, spanning the cool Seiko 5, Presage, Cocktail, Starlight and Grand Seiko collections have been progressively getting more expensive. However, the more nuanced answer is that on the whole, Seiko watches were severely underpriced relative to the quality and finish of their timepieces. And now, recent designs and collaborations have shown that Seiko aesthetics are only just getting better and better. For over 50 years, from the Grand Seiko right down to Seiko 5s, watch enthusiasts have had a pretty good run. It’s no coincidence that a machine produced and assembled Sistem 51 costs twice the retail price of an entry level machine produced, yet hand assembled Seiko 5. None of the decorative touches are there and the Seiko 5 is industrially finished but it is one robust tool watch.
