What We Fancy

This particular model is known as the ‘Bruce Lee’, as he was often seen wearing this model during the 70s. Regarding value, it really is hard to beat something like this. A first of its kind movement, with beautiful design and excellent quality. Seiko continues to be the leader as the value driver in the vintage market.
