A golden dial like the Pogue, this men’s Seiko divers watch gives the look at a less money.  Model reference 7123-823A

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 1979.

CONDITION

Seiko have made some excellent golden dials in the past.  The most notable is the ‘Pogue’, first with the 6139 movement and later the nickname was shared with the quartz 7A28 version.  Ten years ago these were cheap and plentiful, now they can be found for £1,000 such is the interest in the model.  Versions with black dials are worth half.   This 7123-823A divers watch is not as widely collected as the Pogue chronographs, but that makes it better value for money.  The dial is best seen on the video, as the way the light bounces off is captivating.  This is the second of this model we have had, and the condition of both the bezel and the lume is better on this one than the last (it also costs more – the trade off).  The crown screws down and the movement has quick set day and date, with the day in English and possibly Arabic.  The glass has a few light scratches.  We have found similar models in a Japanese catalogue from 1980, but with different dial colours.  They cost the same as a Lord Quartz, so would have been upper midrange in the Seiko hierarchy.  The bracelet is a new mesh item and can be adjusted without special tools.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.

For 2021 Seiko are launching a new limited edition, with the same colour scheme as this watch.  You can read about this here.
