Seiko 5 Automatic - Black 24-Hour (c. 1972)

Description: Seiko 5 Automatic from May 1972, featuring an uncommon black dial with 24-hour inner chapter ring - a functional detail typically found on more specialised references rather than standard Seiko 5 production. Over 50 years old and still running on its original bracelet.

Features a black dial with luminescent baton indices, 24-hour scale inner chapter ring, and day-date display. Automatic movement. Stainless steel case with original period bracelet intact - heavily aged but complete. Acrylic crystal.

Story of This Watch: A 1972 Seiko that has been around long enough to have its own history. The 24-hour scale suggests this was built for someone who needed to know AM from PM at a glance - a practical detail from an era when watches were tools first.

Condition: Very good vintage condition rated 4/5. Case shows honest 50-plus year wear. Original bracelet present but heavily aged with significant darkening. Dial clean and legible. Movement running. Reference to be confirmed on caseback. No box or papers.

Good Wrist Co. Assurance: Inspected and verified authentic. Serial 521471 confirmed, production dated May 1972. Reference to be confirmed prior to publication. Transparent disclosure regarding bracelet aging and absent box and papers.
