Story of This Watch: Seiko 5 started in the 1960s with a simple promise: five features every daily watch should have, from automatic winding & day-date to a recessed crown & a tough case. The 7009 was one of the movements that carried that promise through the 70s & 80s, & it earned its place by being easy to live with & easy to service. What sets this one apart is the dial. The gold racing stripe splits the black face down the middle, a graphic move that gives a workhorse watch real personality without adding a single complication.

Condition: Great condition, rated 4/5. Dial is clean & legible with the gold stripe & indices intact. Case is solid with light marks consistent with age & use. Regularly serviced & running reliably. The bracelet shows wear from regular use & is easy to swap for a replacement if the next owner wants a fresher feel. No polishing. No box or papers.

Good Wrist Co. Assurance: Fully inspected & verified authentic. Reference 7009-3041 confirmed. Movement is the original Seiko 17-jewel automatic caliber, regularly serviced. Transparent disclosure regarding bracelet wear & absent original box & papers.
