If you got 'em, please share a photo (or several). Of specific interest in this thread are boxes and or paperwork that are clearly meant for a specific model, and not the "any watch box" varieties - though share those too if you got 'em and they are interesting in some way!
[Removed Contra box from this post and added better photos a few down!]

In case you missed it, Seiko calls the inner rotating bezel the "Magic Circle". In this model it is a count down timer.
They also suggest you have your watch checked ONCE or TWICE A YEAR to maintain waterproofness!

dapellegrini that is 100% the most unique Seiko box / kit I have ever seen. I never would have figured them for anything but a cube or prism kind of delivery. I don't mean to be disrespectful but every Seiko box I have ever seen has been pretty bland. This is waaaay outside of that mindset. Was this a Daini or Suwa produced? I'd put my money on Daini.

I can't find a Daini or Suwa logo anywhere on the watch case or packaging. The date on the watch is Dec 1964, and I think these might have been made as early as 1963? Otherwise 1964.

Time to refer to your Japanese Domestic Watch encyclopedia set by Yoshio Nagao then?

Time to refer to your Japanese Domestic Watch encyclopedia set by Yoshio Nagao then? I wish those would help. Aside from showing photos of most models, the commentary is pretty light / unspecific. It's the 69799 model, which upon further googling may be a 64 only model.

There must be other vintage boxes out there? No one?

This one’s boring but since you insist, here’s one from 1968.
