CONDITION
The early Seiko divers, known as 62MAS, now fetch thousands. This 7002-7001 could be considered the great grandson of the 62MAS, but as so many more were sold and survive their values are far more attainable. This example has clearly been worn, and has the patina of age that appeals to many people, The bezel does have many minor marks, but we would rather see this than a shiny new part. The bezel turns in both directions with a decent click action. The dial lume is very weak, and this is the second 7002-7001 we have had like this, so it seems to be part of the production. The hands still glow nicely though. The 7002A movement starts with a quick shake, as these can not be hand wound, and runs well. The Z22 original rubber strap has been cleaned in warm soapy water, and has no cracks or signs of fatigue. The quick set date and screw down crown both work smoothly, though the crown does have a dink. This is a classic of the future that can be worn and enjoyed without worry.
