Seiko 5 Automatic (Day-Date)

Description:
Seiko 5 Automatic powered by the reliable Seiko 7009 automatic movement. Reference 7009-3070, produced in December 1986 (serial 612969). Features the classic Seiko day-date display, stainless steel case and bracelet, and the durable in-house automatic movement that helped cement Seiko’s reputation for dependable everyday watches. The black dial paired with gold-tone accents gives the watch a distinctive vintage aesthetic typical of Seiko’s mid-1980s design language.

Story of This Watch:
This watch comes from the seller’s grandfather’s personal collection. A dedicated watch enthusiast, he built an extensive collection large enough to occupy an entire wardrobe dedicated solely to watches. Over time several pieces from this collection were gifted to the seller. Since some of the watches are similar models, a few are now being offered so other collectors can enjoy them. This particular Seiko stands out for its clean black dial with gold accents, representing the era when Seiko became famous for producing reliable everyday automatic watches.

Condition:
Good vintage condition (4/5). The watch shows normal signs of use including light micro-scratches on the case and bracelet from everyday wear over the years. These are cosmetic and expected for a vintage stainless steel watch. Dial remains clean, crystal is clear, and the watch runs well. Recently serviced, with no polishing and no parts replaced. No box or papers.

Good Wrist Co. Assurance:
Inspected and verified authentic. Movement serviced and fully functional. All visible components original and consistent with Seiko 7009-3070 production models.
