A BIT OF TRIVIA

The Seiko Business-A range, produced primarily between 1966 and the early 1970s, was a mid-tier line aimed at professionals, offering refined styling well-suited for office wear. Positioned above entry-level lines like the Seiko 5, but slightly below the King Seiko and Grand Seiko ranges, Business-A watches typically featured reliable automatic movements such as the Caliber 6619 or 8346 which this watch has, many of which offered day/date or even a full day window complications. These models were often housed in modestly sized 36–37mm stainless steel cases, with dials in conservative tones—silver, black, or champagne—featuring applied indices and minimalist, elegant designs. While not as widely recognized as Seiko’s top-tier offerings, the Business-A line is now appreciated for its understated vintage charm, mechanical quality, and styling parallels to higher-end Seiko models, making it a compelling and accessible option for collectors today.

THE WATCH

The Seiko 8346 Business-A has a 27‑jewel, 18,000 vph automatic movement (with hand‑winding) from 1967. It offers full day/date complication with quickset day, a sunburst dial with cross hair, a refined build quality, generous 36mm stainless steel case and very elegant styling, its paired with its original signed stainless steel bracelet that really adds an extra touch of class to this vintage watch.

PERSONAL NOTE

A fantastic early vintage Seiko that has all the characteristics and maybe even more charm than a some of the vintage heavy hitters but for a fraction of the price. A fantastic edition to any collection, brought from the past to the present, ready for you to take on into the future.
