Credor

Japan's crest of gold, where artisans in Shiojiri distil centuries of craft into watches of serene, poetic perfection.

1974
Since 1974

Measured in time.

Credor was established by Seiko in 1974 as a line of watches crafted in precious metals such as gold and platinum.
The Story

Chapters of Credor

I

Its name derives from the French Crête d'Or, meaning crest of gold, and its emblem represents a mountain peak.

II

Founded in 2000 in Shiojiri, Nagano, the Micro Artist Studio hand crafts Credor's most exquisite Spring Drive pieces and high complications.

III

The Eichi, first created in 2008, is celebrated for its hand painted porcelain dial, refined finishing and smoothly gliding Spring Drive movement.

IV

The Fugaku Tourbillon of 2016 was the first Seiko watch with a tourbillon, its dial depicting Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa.

The Signature

The Eichi

A golden peak rises on a porcelain dial as the Spring Drive hand glides without a tick.
