This Seiko 5 has all the things that are popular now but would have not been back in 1983!  Model reference 7009-8750

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in July 1983.

CONDITION

We shoudl explain what we mean when we say this would have been unpopular, or at least unfashionable, back in 1983.  The fashion then was for small, slim, quartz powered watches, often with leather bands and gold plated finishes.  So a bulky, automatic watch on a bracelet would not have been fashionable at all.  However, now people watch 35mm+ mechanical watches, preferably in stainless steel with a bracelet.  Fashion is a fickle business.

This watch houses the Seiko 7009A automatic wind only calibre with quick set date.  You have to wind the watch by shaking it, and providing you are reasonably active the watch will stay wound all day.  We always recommend giving these a good two minute gentle shake before putting it on to ensure it keeps going all day.  The acrylic crystal has been polished to remove all but the finest scratches, and the bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath.  The blue linen dial is very nice, and provides great contrast to make the hands easy to read.

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