Seiko Is NOT Made in Japan?
If you think your Seikko is made in Japan, you might be wrong. Welcome to the one minute watch insights where we understand watches better. Seikko is a world famous Japanese watch maker. But most of their watches are not made in Japan. It’s very easy to identify. You just have to check one thing. If it is written Japan movement or movement Japan or nothing at all, then only the movement is made in Japan. But everything else is manufactured and assembled somewhere else. But on the case back, if you see three magical words, made in Japan, then the entire watch is manufactured and assembled in Japan. It has been imported to the place you are buying from. So next time you are buying a Japanese watch, you know what to look for. Follow for more one minute watch insights.
Think your Seiko watch was made in Japan? You might want to double-check.
In this episode of 1-Minute Watch Insights, we uncover a lesser-known fact about Seiko watches. While Seiko is a legendary Japanese brand, not every Seiko is fully made in Japan. In fact, most aren’t.
Here’s how to quickly find out the origin of your Seiko:
👉 Flip your watch over and look at the case back.
If it says “Japan Movt.”, “Movt. Japan”, or nothing at all — only the movement is from Japan. The rest of the watch was made elsewhere.
But if it says “Made in Japan” — congratulations! You’ve got a fully Japanese-made Seiko, from movement to final assembly.
A must-know tip for collectors, enthusiasts, and first-time buyers of Seiko, Grand Seiko, or Prospex watches.

Yes. Made in Japan models are very expensive compared to the Chinese ones. Generally the made in Japan models cost twice as much as the ones made in China or other east Asian countries.
