SeikoSuper ChronometerRare Full Numeral Dial / 1954 Intro Seiko Super chronometer certified manual winding watch from 1954. It is rare to find a Seiko from that era in such good condition. The full numeral dial is a real beauty to see in person. Story The first wrist watch model of Seiko with a center-second hand mounted concentrically along with the minute and hour hands. Earlier Seiko watches were designed with a small second hand located at the 6 o'clock position. The Seiko Super was leading the domestic watch market in Japan in the first half of the 1950s. The first center-second model (a watch with the hour, minute, and second hands in the center) produced by the company, the Super was a market leader since its release in 1950 and has served as the model for further Seiko watch development (which evolved into the groundbreaking Seiko Marvel in 1956).
