Subtle changes to the Seiko logo on Grand Seikos...

Hi all -




I was shooting one of my newly arrived Grand Seiko's recently when I noticed that the Seiko logo on the dial looked different to that on another watch that I had shot recently.

This morning I thought it would be interesting to have a look at how the logo has changed over time.

Top row -
6145-8000 from 1969; 4520-8000 from 1970

Middle row -
5646-7005 from 1971; 5646-7010 from 1973

Bottom row -
SBGR027 (not entirely sure what year this watch was released?); SBGA129 from 2015

What I found particularly interesting is the way the K and O are joined together on the vintage pieces. Note how the 5646 is distinctly different from both the earlier and later vintage pieces.

Kind regards,


Gerald.
