Description

Concept:

This is something special, a pure collectible, or a gateway for you to look back to the good old days in the 1960s of Japan.
TheSeiko Skyliner started its production in mid-60s and is a mid-range model that targeted young middle management of companies who demand a dressy and clean looking watch. With its relatively short production time of 10 years, it is collectable as the style is modern and minimalist even in today’s standard. We can find early trace of Seiko’s design language in the Seiko Skyline series watch including the mirror-finished sword hand and multi-dimensionalmirror-finished watchcase. The overall design is a timeless classic in the dress watch category.

This Seiko Skyliner 6220 9990 comes from a uniqueera in which we can see how movies become a pop culture in the 60s and how the movie affects people’s taste in design watches.In the 60s, the world isfascinatedby thepotential of the futureand whattheworld will be like in20,30 years. The moon mission in 1969 pushed the hype of inter-planet travel and cyber design to the peak. The TV series Star Trek also gain massive public attention during that time. If you look at the Skyliner we offer here, you will find that theSeikoSkyliner print is paying tribute to the Star Trek logo with the same “space galaxy cyber” design. The logo and the colour tone they use is the reason we source the watch as the design is unique in Seiko’s history and has never been usedagain.Flipping the watch to the caseback, you will see Seikodenote its waterproof design of the Skyliner, by adding a crowned Seahorse logo at the center and a 30 meter rating.

The hand wound 6220 movements used in Skyliner is just as impressive, and post-service the movement is able to wind and run smoothly after 60 years. If you are a fan of the Space Age trend in the 60s and is looking for a clean vintage watch for all purpose, this Skyline will be your perfect choice as it carries its vibe in a subtle but unique way.
