A preserved Seiko T360 eyeglass frame from the 1990s, produced in Japan.

Frame Model: T360 Decade: 1990s Country of Origin: Japan Lenses: Empty, ready for custom lenses Condition: Excellent Vintage. Minimal signs of age consistent with storage. Measurements: 53-16-136 Historical Context Seiko’s connection to eyewear dates back to 1921, when the optical department of Hattori Watch Shop began importing and selling eyeglass frames in Japan. The company later developed its own optical products, introducing the Vista frame brand in 1973 before launching frames under the Seiko name in 1989. Seiko’s approach to eyewear has been closely tied to Japanese precision, technical development, and optical performance, reflecting the company’s broader tradition of combining engineering with refined design. Its optical history also includes significant innovations in lens technology, including Japan’s first domestically produced progressive lens in 1980 and advanced aspheric lens developments during the 1980s and 1990s. Vintage Seiko eyewear reflects this precision-driven heritage through clean forms, functional construction, and an understated Japanese aesthetic shaped by the company’s long involvement in optical technology.
