Return of a Classic – The ROTOCALL Revival

Return of a Classic – The ROTOCALL Revival

Few timepieces capture the imagination of both collectors and tech enthusiasts like the Seiko Rotocall. First launched in 1982, this digital icon was decades ahead of its time — and now, over forty years later, it’s back. The Rotocall Revival returns in three vibrant colourways, bringing a beloved classic into the modern era with upgraded technology and unmistakable retro charm.

A Design Ahead of Its Time

When it first debuted, the Seiko Rotocall stood out with its distinctive octagonal case and revolutionary rotary switch. This intuitive design allowed users to easily toggle between the alarm, timer, and stopwatch — a level of functionality that set a new benchmark for digital watches in the early 1980s.

Now, the 2025 Rotocall reissue pays homage to that pioneering spirit. Its 37mm case stays true to the original proportions, while new aluminium bezel inserts add a subtle touch of modern refinement. Every detail, from the tactile rotary control to the crisp digital display, reflects Seiko’s dedication to innovation and craftsmanship.

Built on Modern Reliability

Inside, the Rotocall Revival is powered by Calibre A824, a movement designed to deliver long-lasting accuracy and dependable performance. It combines Seiko’s heritage of electronic expertise with today’s reliability standards — ensuring the same intuitive functionality that once inspired astronauts and adventurers alike.

Whether setting an alarm, timing a workout, or simply enjoying its vintage aesthetic, the Rotocall offers precision and nostalgia in equal measure.


Three Colourways, Infinite Character

Available in SMGG17P (Yellow), SMGG19P (Black), and SMGG21P (Blue), each model captures a different facet of the Rotocall’s personality. The bold hues accentuate the watch’s geometric case and retro digital screen, making it both a conversation piece and a practical companion for everyday life.
