Catalogue Essay
Diving back into the 1940’s, the present watch is an extremely rare and historically important piece of archive of World War II. Manufactured by Seikosha, it was initially produced for the wrist of a Kamikaze fighter pilot to wear during action. Named the “Tensoku-Tokei”, there was only very few examples made with even less examples still preserved today, as most died in action along with its owner.
Preserved in working condition and still fully intact, this rare and historically important relic is a fantastic opportunity for military watch aficionados to acquire a simply beautiful and charismatic watch.
