Up for sale is a Rare Vintage Seiko Crown J14096 men’s 19-jewel manual wind classic dress watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1960s. The Seiko Crown was one of Seiko’s most important vintage models, representing the company’s transition into high-grade mechanical watchmaking and laying the foundation for many of its later flagship timepieces.
The watch is in full working condition and is running and holding accurate time over a 24-hour period.
The watch is fitted on an aftermarket black leather strap. I also believe the crystal was replaced at some point in time.
The watch is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The dial has developed a beautiful natural patina that gives the watch outstanding vintage character. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.

► ARCHIVE FILE: SEIKO — BRAND HISTORY
Seiko begins with Kintaro Hattori, who opened a shop selling and repairing clocks in Tokyo's Ginza district in 1881, at the age of twenty-one. He founded the Seikosha factory in 1892 to manufacture wall clocks, built Japan's first wristwatch, the Laurel, in 1913, and put the Seiko name on a dial for the first time in 1924. By mid-century his successors ran one of the most vertically integrated watch companies on earth, making everything from hairsprings to cases under its own roof.
