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 dependable in-house movement that helped establish Seiko’s reputation for durable everyday mechanical watches. The black dial paired with gold-tone accents gives the watch a distinctive vintage aesthetic typical of Seiko’s mid-1980s design style.

Story of This Watch:
This watch comes from the seller’s grandfather’s personal collection. A passionate watch collector, he built a large collection stored in a wardrobe dedicated entirely to watches. Over time several pieces from this collection were gifted to the seller. Since some models were similar, 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 and represents the era when Seiko became known worldwide for producing simple, reliable automatic watches.

Condition:
Good vintage condition (4/5). The watch shows normal signs of use including minor micro-scratches on the case and bracelet from everyday wear over the years. These are cosmetic and expected for a stainless steel watch of this age. The watch has been serviced and lightly polished. Dial remains clean, crystal is clear, and the watch runs properly. No parts have been replaced. No box or papers.

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