In the mid-1950s, Seiko was absolutely determined to rival the quality of Swiss watches and made this known by unveiling the Crown, manufactured by Suwa. Daini, for its part, proposed the Cronos, an alternative to the Crown with a slimmer movement. The stage was set. The rivalry between Suwa and Daini worked wonders and Seiko became number one in Japan.
