Here is a 7A28 Seiko model we have never had before – as we had never even seen one in the flesh before! Model reference 7A28-6020.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in February 1983.
CONDITION
There were dozens of versions of the Seiko 7A28 powered chronographs available over its decade long production. Some, like the James Bond version, the divers watches or the ones worn by the Army are well documented. Even the rare Vulcan, or Ripley Aliens models we have had in the past. But this is a dressier version. You have a fancier bezel, gold plated pushers and Breguet style numerals and chrono centre seconds hand (see how the circle on the hand counterweight fits perfectly over the 60 of the constant seconds sub dial? Nice detail.). The 7A28 was the World’s first 1/10th second quartz analogue stopwatch, and the all metal, fully serviceable movement has a bit of a cult following. On the downside the bezel does have some wear to the gold plate. The 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.
