Background to the model

The 2206 series was a high-end women's line within Seiko's automatic watch families of the early 1970s. These models offered:

• small but technically sophisticated automatic movements
• Day/Date complication (bilingual)
• strongly curved or faceted lenses
• High-quality workmanship in compact proportions

Seiko positioned these models as durable everyday watches with high standards. Due to their small size and very robust movement design, watches in the 2206 series remain extremely popular with collectors to this day.
