Top 10 Seiko Racing Watches

Anyone who loves car racing and other racing sports would tell you that racing and racing watches cannot be separated. Today and even in recent times, racing watch has been influenced by car racing because timing and speed go hand in hand.

Seiko is a brand that emerged from a young man’s shop in Tokyo, Japan, starting at first as a watch repairs shop. Kintaro Hattori, the founder of this great brand, gradually began to make clocks and progressed to create more and better timepieces.

Today, Seiko has made some of the most impressive watches, especially for racing sports, timing, and accurately measuring distance. The great thing about Seiko watches is that they are not as costly as other brands, yet they have features and abilities equal to the more ‘refined’ brands.

Here are the top ten racing Seiko watches:

10. Seiko Chronograph, 1964

The Seiko Chronograph was first released in 1964, and it was no ordinary racing watch because it was the first wristwatch to function as a stopwatch in Japan. That year was significant to Seiko because it acted as the timekeeper for the Olympics, which was hosted by Japan that year.

This model was created with a silver dial, having uniform second, minute and hour hands, ticking gracefully. The head is about a 37-millimeter steel case with a metal bracelet, and its lug is as wide as 18 millimeters.
