HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in November 1969.

CONDITION

There is a choice of Seiko watches from this period always available, and for good reason.  They are reliable, and built well, so they last.  But not every watch will last in this condition.  The case helps, as it is stainless steel.  Many other brands at this price point in 1969 would have used chrome or gold plated cases, which will show wear tot he plate in most case now.  But although this solid stainless steel case does have a few marks from being worn it will never look worn out.  Similarly this watch was designed to be water resistant (they actually state waterproof on the case back, something that Seiko stopped claiming in the early 1970’s and switched to the legal team friendly water resistant).  The advantage of buying a watch that was designed like this the dial tends to be better protected from all elements, and this is the case here.  The dial is very, very good.  The 7005A movement is automatic winding only, and the date can be changed via quick set via the flush crown.  The H link bracelet is perfect for the period and likely to be original, and the clasp is signed too.  This Seiko 7005-8040 has lots going for it.

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