Seiko Revives Retro Rotocall from the Eighties Space Shuttle Era

For decades, Seiko has been a silent passenger on some of humanity's greatest journeys. More Seiko watches have gone to space than any other brand, save for Omega and Casio. Now, the Japanese giant is turning back the clock to celebrate that legacy, bringing back one of its most prolific space travelers: the multi-function Rotocall.

This isn't just another retro remake. For the 2025 reissue, Seiko has gone for authenticity over reinvention. The brand has retained the distinctive features that made the original an icon of the 1980s, a true relic of the Space Shuttle era. From its unique rotating bezel to its digital display, every detail is a loving nod to the past.

The reissue is more than a piece of horological history; it's a testament to Seiko's enduring relationship with exploration. While other brands may shout their space credentials from the rooftops, Seiko's story is told in the quiet, reliable performance of its watches that have actually orbited the Earth. The return of the Rotocall ensures this story of silent stardom continues for a new generation of enthusiasts.
