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 1996.
CONDITION
Giugiaro designed some wonderful cars, including the VW Golf, Lotus Esprit and the DeLorean DMC12. But he also lead a design studio that worked with Seiko for a number of years, initially on the 7A28 chronographs as used in the Alien film. All these things have something in common – they didn’t look like anything else on the market but they worked well aesthetically. The shark pattern strap at first seems out of place on this watch, until you pick up the subdials are also blue and then the design ties together. The condition is very good too – the Seiko Sappflex crystal is perfect, and the functions on the complex movement all work smoothly – the instructions are available online here. The watch was originally rated to 200m water resistance, which is impressive for a watch with three pushers and two crowns! The leather strap is original and in good used condition, and is still fitted with the original signed pin buckle. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
This model has been re-issued to celebrate 25 years since the original design, about which you can read more here.
