HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in January 1983. There is a chance it was made in January 1993, but we believe 1983 is more likely as most Seiko watches had switched to their Hardlex glass by 1993 and this has acrylic crystal.
CONDITION
The Seiko 5 has been a mainstay of Seiko watches since 1963 as the Sportsmatic 5 and it has earned its place in horological history. Not just in terms of numbers made, but they made getting a stainless steel, automatic watch with bracelet as standard obtainable for the masses. Inside this watch beats the automatic wind only calibre 7009A, which also has a day and date feature. The date can be quickset, but the day (which can be in English or French) needs to be set manually. The dial is the real high point of this example, being a textured matte silver and very clean. The full length bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath. The acrylic crystal has some marks to the very bottom that are easier to see in the photos than in real life.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
