A rare 1970s JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) watch, the Seiko Emblem Automatic 2418-3020 is renowned for its unique TV-shaped casing, sophisticated white textured dial, and Roman numeral pointers. Superior precision and a smooth sweep are guaranteed by its Hi-Beat 23-jewel automatic movement (Cal. 2418), which runs at 28,800 bph. This model combines traditional and futuristic design elements, reflecting Seiko's experimental design era. Because it was only ever released in Japan and was never exported, it is now quite collectible. Just prior to the quartz revolution, Seiko's emphasis on design innovation for stylish consumers was embodied by the Emblem line.
The 2418-3020 is notable for its unique dial design, striking case, and elegant mechanism, providing an insight into Seiko's mechanical art during a period when quartz watches were starting to take center stage. In the world of vintage Seiko collecting, it is a hidden gem due to the combination of elegance, rarity, and accuracy.
