Battery powered but not quartz, the Elnix range was Seiko’s electronic balance wheel range.  Model reference 0703-6030 or 07 ELW.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in September 1974.  We have found the same model in the 1974 brochure too, and you can the details like the bracelet and gold hour markers and hands are correct.  The watch cost ¥25,000 back then, which was more expensive than the cheapest King Seiko.

CONDITION

Electronic balance wheel movements are not as accurate as quartz regulated watches, but they have a sweep second hand rather than a one second jump, and in 1974 quartz was still quite new so Seiko covered all bases and made mechanical, quartz and electronic watches to choose from.  This is a very original watch, with the faceted crystal and original XAB 602 bracelet.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.  The bracelet has been shortened and now has a bracelet clasp extender fitted to allow those with bigger wrists to still enjoy this watch.  The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath.  The green dial is always interesting, and this effect is helped with the faceted crystal that does has a few chips to the edge.  The watch is signed on the dial, case, movement, and clasp.

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