A very funky Seiko 5 from 1972, with a brown and gold two tone dial and the original full length bracelet.  Model reference 6119-5411.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back movement we can accurately date this watch to being made in February 1972.

CONDITION

In 1972 there was a lot of design that echoed the space race, and we wonder if the designer of the 6119-5411 model range were thinking of an astronauts helmet when they made their case 40.5 diameter but fitted an oval crystal and dial.  The gold and brown dial dial colours are also perfect for the period, and the dial and hands are in extremely good condition.  The case has a few marks, and it also appears that a corrosive material was on the case back – there is some pitting to one side and dark stain we can not remove (but it doesn’t rub off on your wrist either!)  The full length bracelet is a huge plus – this design uses a central lug and finding another bracelet to suit would not be easy.  The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath, which is essential for any folded link bracelet from this period.  The movement is the Seiko 6119C, which is automatically wound only and has quick set date activated by pushing the crown inwards.  The day wheel is in English and French and doesn’t have a quickset facility.

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