Model: Seiko “Canon 25th Anniversary” Sportsman

Year: October 1962

Features:

The Origin. In 1962, Canon celebrated its 25th Anniversary in style, by asking Seiko to create special editions of its Sportsman for their employees. There isn’t a great deal to say about the design itself, but one small detail is worth noting - the logo.

The Logo. Even by the 1970s, Seiko had the awareness to keep its logo on commissioned and collaborative watches - usually finding a way to accommodate any partner branding alongside it. But on this watch, the word Canon completely replaces Seiko on the dial. A rarity then, and something you’re very unlikely to see now. 

The Engraving. The caseback engraving neatly explains the watch was created to celebrate the 25th Canon Camera Co., Ltd anniversary. Information about these is scarce, as Seiko seemingly didn’t make many, which makes sense given how small Canon’s workforce was in 1962 compared to its 2024 headcount of around 170,000 employees.

Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to; the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage, new, or modified), and the import and tax laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

Are your watches water resistant?

All of our watch mods are tested by our own pressure depth testing equipment, and are guaranteed to resistant water up to 50m of depth. Seiko Originals have varied levels of depth resistance, which will be stated in the description of each watch.

Can I modify an existing design?

We welcome all ideas! Get in touch via the Contact Us page and we can let you know the possibility and cost of any potential alterations.

What is your returns policy?

Due to the hand-made nature of the Seiko Mods, we offer a 7 day returns period after the watch has been received. The returner must bear the cost of the returns, and the watch must be returned in the same condition as it arrived. We do not offer returns on any bespoke or custom-made watches.

Due to the vintage nature of the Seiko Originals, returns are considered on a case-by-case basis, as vintage items typically have a no returns policy.
