From the much collected 7A series Seiko model series, this is one of the more regular designs. Model reference 7A38-7190.
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 1987.
CONDITION
The 7A series started in 1982 with the 7A28, the first analogue quartz chronograph than could record tenths of a second. Then this movement (7A38) added a day date calendar to the watch. Then the 7A48 added a moonphase but lost the day of the week. So you could argue this is the highest specification, but all models have their fan bases so it doesn’t really matter. This 7A38-7190 model has a more chunky bracelet than most, but is otherwise one of the more conservative designs (the Aliens watches and the Giugiaro designs are more adventurous, but the Roger Moore Bond watch was similar to this but with a white dial and a different bracelet). Condition of this is good but not perfect – there is a dink near twelve, and the glass has very slight nibbles on the edge. Mechanically all is working well, and the pushers feel good and not stiff. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The 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 the original 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.
