HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made September in 1965.

CONDITION

The Deluxe had a few extra jewels than the standard Seiko 5, and the easiest way to spot the deluxe is the extra button used to quick set the date that the standard watches didn’t have.  You also get a day display, in English, but this can not be quick set.  A smart design idea, the fluted bezel is inside the crystal so doesn’t get worn of fill with dirt.  The dial is very good save for a few small marks.  The Stainless steel case also has marks, but they are not worse than you would expect a vintage watch to have.  There is an inscription in Japanese on the case back.  The automatic only movement is working as it should.  The watch would originally been on a bracelet, but this has been lost or replaced over the years and we have fitted a new leather strap.  This strap can be swapped for a different colour if preferred.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
