I think it means that its assembled in Japan, parts and all. Because sometimes to make the watch cheaper, SEIKO sends just the parts to factories outside of Japan where they assemble it (only for the foreign markets), making the watch less expensive to make.
Personally, I don't think it makes that much difference, unless its a sold in Japan only watch.
For a good example if you drive TOYOTA little old and on the driver door say "MADE IN JAPAN" compare with MADE IN USA the car QUALITY is different. I thinked they made inside Japan for their people used is better than another countries because the 3 years or 36,000 miles which ever come first! so you mess up YOUR cars then buy another one (more jobs, more money) that's all about.
@smistry93 The movement of a watch or timepiece is the mechanism that keeps time. So a watch or clock baring the mark "JAPAN MOV'T" refers to the movement being Japanese, and as such, this follows for all makers of time pieces that care to mark their pieces with this type of mark, for example Swatch watches bare the mark "SWISS MOV'T"
