Traditionally the catalogs were released in two different volumes per year, one at the beginning of the year and another around the muddle of the year. but this was changed to indicate the year and a number for the year. I believe the initial intent was for the catalogs to be sequentially numbered, like the Seiko News issues e.g. Between catalogs No.1 and No.2 there was a Supplement issue released containing the new models released after the first catalog.
You will note that the 1967 catalog does not have a year marked on the cover but just No.2. The first catalog was released in 1966 and is marked No.1, the second full catalog release was in 1967 and this is marked No.2. The catalogs are not an exhaustive list of all models and models that only had a short availability or were limited editions are often not included. The catalogs are a good way to see what models were generally available at that time. As the different catalogs were released the formatting changed and some of the details provided for the watches were updated. The catalogs contain a life size image of the watch, pricing and general details for the model. Prior to this there were some product catalogs produced but these were not on a regular schedule and may include only a smaller percentage of the available models. The catalogs contained the complete line-up of standard models for men, women and specialised pieces like stopwatches that were available at that time. In 1966 Seiko began producing a unified product catalog for the Japanese domestic market.
