This is a JDM model, and this Seiko Seiko 5 Sportsmatic Deluxe therefore has a Kanji only day wheel.  Model reference 7619-9010.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in April 1966.

CONDITION

The Sportsmatic Deluxe range were a upgraded version of the then recently launched Seiko 5.  You got a push button at three to quick set the date, a few extra jewels in the movement and the movement also hacks.  This example has the day wheel in Kanji, and this means the watch was not designed to leave Japan – export models have usually English as the day wheel.  The dial is very good on this one, with just a few marks around the edge.  The crystal is new, the the case has a few signs of the watches age without looking bad.  The calibre 7619A 25 jewel movement is working well, these are automatic wind only – they can not be manually wound.  Originally the watch would have come on the bracelet, but that has been lost over the years.  The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour or material if preferred.  The watch is signed on the dial, case and movement.

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