Seiko 5 Sports Compass Bezel - White Dial with 24-Hour Ring (7S36-04M0, 2000s)

Description: Seiko 5 Sports reference 7S36-04M0 automatic from the 2000s, powered by the 23-jewel Caliber 7S36 (non-hacking, no hand winding). Textured off-white dial with a grid pattern, bold arrow-shaped indices & an inner ring of 13 to 24 numerals for reading 24-hour time. Blue accents on the dial, day & date window at 3 o’clock & a crown at 4 o’clock. Stainless steel case with a rotating compass bezel marked N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W & NW. 100m water resistance. Original stainless steel bracelet.

Story of This Watch: The Seiko 5 Sports line took the everyday Seiko 5 formula & pushed it toward tool-watch territory, & the compass bezel is the most practical expression of that. Point the hour hand at the sun, line up the bezel, & you can read your bearings without a phone. This reference adds an inner 13-24 ring on top of that, so the dial works as a field watch & a 24-hour reader at once. It’s a busy dial by design, built for function rather than looks, & it’s priced for someone who wants to wear & use a watch, not baby it.

Condition: Good condition, rated 3/5. Dial is legible with the texture & indices intact, though the outer edge of the dial shows some age discoloration. Bezel & case show noticeable wear from regular use, & the bezel still turns as it should. Bracelet shows wear consistent with age & use. Regularly serviced & running reliably. No polishing. No box or papers.

Good Wrist Co. Assurance: Fully inspected & verified authentic. Reference 7S36-04M0 confirmed. Movement is the original Seiko 23-jewel automatic caliber, regularly serviced. All components original including the bracelet. Transparent disclosure regarding the dial edge discoloration, visible wear on the bezel, case & bracelet & absent original box & papers.
