Although they may not be the most luxurious, Seiko watches are loved by collectors both at the entry level and by the most discerning collector with a cult-like following. There is a specific sense of satisfaction that comes from wearing a Seiko– you become a part of a long lineage of excellent watchmaking and extreme attention to detail in a resilient fashion across the range of Seiko timepieces. 

Of course, among the many amazing watches this brand has released over the years, there are several dive watches among the fold, the most legendary of which was Seiko’s original professional diver, the 62MAS. But then there are those quote-unquote "dive watches" that are just as cool but maybe a little less deep-water ready, like this fantastic piece. With a saucer-shaped case and bright, colorful dial design, it's a watch that makes a statement. And, as with many Seikos, this one looks just as good today as it did in 1971 – a true testament to the brand's incredible and timeless designs. 

SPECS

The case retains its original recessed button crown, which operates the day-date function. The case back retains all of its original finishing and factory markings. The watch is supplied on a 2-piece leather strap.

DIAL & HANDS

The original gold dial is clean and legible with green markers and exhibits almost no wear from age. The outer track is a cream color that helps add some depth to the dial. The original stick-shaped silver hands are in fantastic condition, as is the yellow second's hand.
