Yes, you're right about The Pulsar 'Wizard" watches with Y950/Y951 module... very cool watches...indeed
But what I meant to say was that Seiko usually have choosed to launch the "World's First" whatever watch technology mainly under SEIKO brand , not under other brands under Seiko ownership.Just some examples from LCD watches:
1973 The first watch in the world with a LCD screen, fast enough to display the seconds (cal.0614A).
- branded SEIKO1975 In June, Seiko markets the world's first digital LCD chronograph, calibers 0634A and 0634B.
- branded SEIKO1978 The world's first 'LC Digital Quartz Memorybank', the FX 003 (caliber M354), stored with useful dates from 1930 up to the year 2009. Seiko launches a watch with memory the M53. -
- branded SEIKOand some examples from in the 80's when Seiko owned indeed multiple other brands:e.g. Pulsar, Alba, Lorus, Lassale, Yema etc
1980 - the world's first digital LCD with a DOT MATRIX SYSTEM watch D031-
- branded SEIKO1982 - World's first TV watches -
- branded SEIKO1983 - World's first recording or talking digital watch, the M516
- branded SEIKO1984 - World's first digital computer watch, the Seiko Data 2000, later the UC 2000 and the RC 1000 -
- branded SEIKOetc etc
And Yes, there were plenty of COOL and technologically advanced watches released under Pulsar or Lorus or ALBA brands, such as The Pulsar 'Wizard" watch Y950/951, Alba game watches, The 'Biorhythm' watch Y772 by Pulsar. etc etc, but usually they were NOT "World's First" in watches technology.
That's what I meant to say in my previous post: containing a World's First DOT MATRIX technology, "in my humble opinion it was the obvious choice for D031 to be released under SEIKO's main brand"...
