Also it’s a really good article, bit of a Jason Heaton ramble but some nuggets in there. Eg what I’ve been trying to find out for a while, where did the 62MAS case shape come from, whether it was Seiko or if they were imitating an earlier Swiss design and yeah, it’s the latter. Aquastar debuted it on the 60 in 1958.
