It was a new brand-name born in 1932 at DAT Jidosha Seizo, the predecessor of Nissan Motor. Originally, the brand “DAT” was founded under Kwaishinsha Motor Car Works, the predecessor of DAT Jidosha Seizo, and it was an acronym derived from the initials of three investors’ surnames. Later on, “SON" was applied to the end and became “DATSON” as it was the “son” they created. However, in Japanese “SON” is the word for “loss” therefore, it was immediately changed to “SUN,” which has brighter associations, and the name became DATSUN.
Launched in 1969, the Datsun 240Z became a worldwide hit, not only in Japan but also in North America. With the aim of demonstrating its high performance as a sports car, the Datsun 240Z began to participate in world rally competitions.
Seiko, sharing Datsun’s spirit for taking on challenges, supported the Datsun 240Z in motorsports activities in the early 1970s.
Dial
The logo at the 12 o'clock has been carefully recreated and placed for this model, using the "DATSUN" block letters from the steering wheel.
The Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel tachymeter take inspiration from the font used on the Datsun 240Z dashboard. Bi-color aluminum bezel with tachymeter is the icon for Speedtimer’s masterpiece archive model which is highly valued in the vintage market.
Case / Strap
The bracelet enhances the appearance of the watch and is well matched to the case size for an excellent balance. The center of the bracelet is black with a hard coating in an homage to the bonnet of the Datsun 240Z.
Case Back
The case back is adorned with an original illustration of the winning rally car, Datsun 240Z.
The words "LIMITED EDITION" and the serial number are applied on the case back.
