HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in November 1984. There is also an inscription on the case back for 1984 for a long service award from British Aerospace to a L. L. Hyde – there is a Hyde Group that work in Aerospace, but we don’t think they are linked to this watch.
CONDITION
The analogue and digital combination watches give you the best of both worlds – hands you can glance at to tell the time, and then the extra functionality of having an alarm, chronograph, second time zone etc for the rare times you might use them. This H557-532A is very typical of the era, but the Seiko watches survive better than most as they used stainless steel cases and bracelets rather than plastic. They did cost a lot more too, so were bought by people who looked after them. That said this one does have scratches on the Hardlex glass, and we have not been able to source a suitable replacement. Other than that all is fully functional and the case is in good shape too. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The original bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required. The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath.
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.
