Seiko 5 Automatic - Black Arabic

Description: Vintage Seiko 5 Automatic, reference 7009-6001, produced in October 1975. A classic example of Seiko's most celebrated line, built on the brand's five core principles: automatic movement, day-date display, water resistance, recessed crown at 4 o'clock, and a durable case. The 7009 calibre represents one of Seiko's most reliable and widely produced movements from this era.

Features a black dial with white Arabic numeral hour markers, white baton hands, and a day-date window at 3 o'clock. Powered by Seiko Calibre 7009, a robust and well-regarded automatic workhorse. Stainless steel case with the characteristic rounded profile of mid-1970s Seiko production. Currently fitted with an aftermarket black croc-pattern genuine leather strap. Acrylic crystal.

Story of This Watch: A 50-year-old Japanese automatic wearing its age with character. The black Arabic dial variant is arguably the most legible and practically styled configuration in the vintage Seiko 5 lineup - clean, direct, and effortlessly readable. A grail piece for entry-level vintage collectors who appreciate honest Japanese horology.

Dial remains clean and well-preserved with no moisture damage or significant fading. Movement functioning. Fitted with aftermarket black croc leather strap - original bracelet not present.
