WWII Seiko Gents Watch

Hi Watch Collectors,

There are many modern Seiko Watches around in the market but good vintage pieces are hard to come by. I found this piece during my trip to PNG which I bought it from the market place. This piece is unique as it is a case within a case. The era of this watch is 1940. I suspect this piece was taken from some Japanese Soldier during the battle in PNG.


Typical 1940s case and huge crown

The old brand name of Seiko called "Seikosha"
I hope you learn something from this vintage piece.
