Introducing the Seiko "Gyro Marvel" made in 1960 .
Gyro Marvel is based on the movement of the famous hand-wound "Marvel" and is equipped with Seiko's original automatic winding mechanism "Magic Lever".
Although it was only produced for a short period of time, from 1959 to 1960 , the Magic Lever had a great influence on later automatic winding mechanisms due to its excellent winding efficiency, and is still used as a standard device today. .
This is a memorable model that played an important role not only in Seiko but also in the history of watches.
The Gyro Marvel has a unique silhouette reminiscent of a spaceship because it was designed with a magic lever placed on top of the Marvel movement.
Gyro is a word that also means "rotation", so I think the name Gyro Marvel was created with the image of a rotating rotor.
For this reason, Gyro Marvel's symbol mark is a spinning top, which is reminiscent of spinning.
There is a top mark at the 12 o'clock position, and since automatic winding was not yet popular at the time, it was placed as a symbol to let people know at a glance that it was an automatic winding watch.
Based on the matte black dial, the case and indexes are made of gold with a slight reddish tint.
The model name and other logos are placed discreetly, so the top symbol, which is the symbol mark, stands out even more.
The design, which is simple yet elegant and stylish, is an expression that only this watch can create.
The movement is equipped with a self-winding Cal.290 with 17 jewels.
This is a memorable movement that was the first to use Seiko's unique winding mechanism, the Magic Lever.
The Magic Lever is equipped with a special shaft that winds the mainspring stably no matter which way the rotor rotates to the left or right.It is a mechanism that winds the mainspring stably no matter which direction the rotor rotates. It is a mechanism that has taken the world by storm.
Size: Height: 42mm , Width: 37mm , Thickness: 12mm .
Although it has a simple structure, it has a distinctive thickness, so it looks impressive compared to other Seiko watches.
It's not that heavy considering its appearance.
The length and width are standard sizes, making it easy to wear even for people with thin wrists.
There are some minor scratches on the case due to use, but both the dial and movement are in good condition.
Gyro Marvel equipped with the first magic lever.
On top of the automatic winding, it is also equipped with an anti-seismic device, making it easy to use on a daily basis.
As it ages, the color changes to a more elegant color, making it a watch that goes perfectly with jackets and shirt styles.
