Lite lÀsning, saxat frÄn ett annat forum:Min Goldfeather börjar med D1, sÄ vore december 1961 isÄfall. Och minstingen 46, sÄ april 1956 eller 1946. Fast en herrklocka pÄ 31mm borde vÀl betyda 40-tal? Den har Àven en gravyr pÄ baksidan som jag försöker översÀtta.
Hur som helst sÄ tillverkades klockorna dom Ären, sÄ borde inte vara helt osannolikt att det stÀmme. Cronosen har tyvÀrr inget serienummer pÄ baklocket och har inte lyckats öppna den för att kolla insidan. Borde dock vara omkring 1960. SpÀnnande i vilket fall som helst!
- Goldfeather: (Sub-brand) - A short-lived line contemporary with the first KS (1950âs) that was slimmer and not quite as high end as latter Grand Seikoâs. However, there is one anomalous model in that line - the 609000. Instead of being the "classic" ultra-slim (for it's day) uncomplicated (in the styling sense, not mechanical sense) dress watch, this one is rather "chunky"/solid and has "mod"/fashion influences, but not to the extent that most VANAC/AdVan models do.
- Cronos: (Sub-brand) - Daini designed and manufactured high-end Manual watches produced from 1958 to 1964 in 17, 21 and 23j versions. Also available as Cronos Selfdater (with date) from 1961 and Cronos Special (with extra adjustment) from 1963. The Cronos was Seikos mainstream offering in the late 50s, similar to the Marvel and was priced from JPY 5700. The Cronos line were generally precursors to King Seiko and Grand Seiko and not quite as high-end. A refinement of the Cronos movement was later used in the King Seiko.
- Marvel: (Sub-brand) - The Marvel was a Suwa watch introduced on June 10, 1956, a day that coincidentally was also "Time Memorial Day", a one day celebration of time all over Japan. The Marvel was the first modern caliber produced by Seiko and a large leap forward both for technical achievement and manufacturing efficiency. This sub-brand was Seiko's top watch line of manual-wind watches during the late 1950âs. They were made in 17j, 19j and 21j hand-wind versions and remained in production until 1959. The Marvel was priced from 4,500 and upwards which made it affordable to most Japanese.
