HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in March 1982.
CONDITION
There are several reasons that Seiko watches remain a popular vintage watch. They were designed to last a long time, often as in this example using stainless steel cases instead of chrome. They were also pioneers of technology, and Seiko were the first company to launch a quartz regulated watch. And then the styling is often just right too. This watch has a blue dial that can also look black, but with white hands the contrast provides a very easy watch to read the time on. The 4 jewel quartz 8222A movement (SQ= Seiko Quartz) is all working perfectly well, and we will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The watch was probably originally on a folded link bracelet, but this has been lost over the years. The blue leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
