# Reference: **Model:** Seiko “Canon 25th Anniversary” Sportsman **Production Date:** October 1962 **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/dn0dMzQ](https://imgur.com/a/dn0dMzQ) **Album:** [https://imgur.com/a/ubYytnR](https://imgur.com/a/ubYytnR) # Features: **The Origin.** In 1962, Canon celebrated its 25th Anniversary in style - by asking Seiko to create special editions of its Sportsman for their employees. There isn’t a great deal to say about the design itself, but one small detail is worth noting – the position of the logo. **The Logo.** Even by the 1970s, Seiko had the awareness to keep its own logo on commissioned and collaborative watches - usually finding a way to accommodate any partnered branding alongside it. But on this watch, the word Canon completely replaces Seiko on the dial. A rarity even back then, and something you’re very unlikely to see now.  **The Engraving.** The caseback engraving neatly explains the watch was created to celebrate the 25th Canon Camera Co., Ltd anniversary. Information about these is scarce, as Seiko seemingly didn’t make many - which makes sense given how small Canon’s workforce was in 1962 compared to its 2024 headcount of around 170,000 employees! # Details: **Condition:** In good condition overall.
