WW2 Seikosha Watches

mtob913 · Jul 30, 2025

Hey all - found these WW2 era Seiko/Seikosha watches cleaning out my grandma's house. They are in excellent condition and I'm getting them serviced for a reasonable price. I've tried searching around and haven't found much info other than the fact that they were issued by the Japanese Army. Hoping someone else in the community knows a bit about these and any value they could have (not looking to sell at the moment, but eBay prices are all over the place).

Apologies for posting same pic twice. Here's the movement of the first pic.

prices from what I’ve seen fluctuate between $600-1,200 depending on how rare, whether or not it has military markings on the dial (one of yours has it, the star - there’s also an anchor logo for the back) and on the caseback.

The wristwatch in the first photo appears to be a Seikosha Morris Type 9, while the one in the second photo seems to be a Morris Type 10.

For your information, the star symbol represents the Imperial Japanese Army, the anchor indicates the Navy, and the cherry blossom signifies the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service.
