The Seiko Legacy Collection: A Limited-Edition Quartet of Watchmaking Excellence

The Seiko Legacy Collection is a behemoth of a release, consisting of four limited-edition watches that will set you back a whopping $17,500. That’s a staggering amount for four Seiko watches, to say the least.

So, what makes this collection so special? Each watch is a masterpiece in its own right, with the elegance of the Presage line, the toughness of the Prospex line, the luxury of the King Seiko line, and the most advanced movement technology with the Astron.

But is the Price Right?

Now, let’s get to the nitty-gritty – the price. You could buy all four individual watches, with prices ranging from $1,900 to $3,900, for a total of $12,600. But then, you’d still have to shell out $4,900 for a watch winder, a pen, and Shinji Hattori’s autograph. That’s a lot of money for a nice-to-have, even for the most die-hard Seiko enthusiasts.

That being said, Seiko has a loyal fanbase, and with only 15 of these sets up for grabs, I’m sure some fans will splurge to own the ultimate Seiko bragging rights.

The Verdict

The Seiko Legacy Collection is a limited-edition quartet of watchmaking excellence, but the price tag is a major sticking point. Even with the rarity and potential price increases on the secondary market, the $4,900 premium for the watch winder, pen, and autograph might be too steep for most collectors.
