Seikobase

The reference for vintage Seiko

Seikobase is the most complete cross-checked reference for vintage Seiko watches. It publishes 1,144 models across 23 collections, from 1966 to 1998. Every watch carries a confirmed caseback reference, its caliber, its year and its collection.

Cross-checked, not guessed

We identify a watch by its caseback reference, the one identity you can check on the watch itself. Every reference, caliber and collection comes from a named source: a historical Seiko catalogue, the Boley database, or a cited page. When a source is uncertain, the page says so. We never invent a watch fact.

Restored to how it looked

Each watch is shown twice: the original catalogue scan, and a clean image restored with AI so the watch looks as it did when it was new, not as a faded 1970s print.

Search the whole catalog

Filter every model by year, collection, movement, dial colour, case colour and case shape. Open any watch to see its full specification, the source catalogue page, and its sibling references in the same collection.
