Just fully serviced, this desirable Seiko chronograph borrows its nickname from the 1970’s Pogue model with similar colours. Model reference 7A28-7030.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in December 1982. This was the first year of 7A28 production.
CONDITION
Pogue was not an official name for the automatic Seiko chronograph with a similar gold dial and pepsi bezel, but it was worn by Col. Pogue on a space flight (unofficially becoming the first automatic chronograph worn in space). The watch we have has many differences to that original Pogue, but you can easily see why the nickname was passed down. Rather than an automatic movement, this has 7A28A quartz movement, which was the first 1/10 seconds analogue quartz movement ever. This all metal movement can be fully serviced, and this one has been by a specialist so everything is working perfectly. The glass and gaskets were also replaced, and the pushers therefore are all smooth (they can be sticky with this case design if the gaskets are old). Cosmetically the bezel has a few marks but is much better than most, and the has some spotting but is at least original. The original bracelet, with B1073 endlinks, is not only still fitted but is also long enough for most wrists. That is not common.
