A classic vintage Seiko 5 automatic wristwatch featuring a silver-white sunburst inspired redial with applied gold-toned faceted baton markers and an outer minute track. Matching gold-toned hands, a sweep seconds hand, and a combined day-and-date calendar window at the 3 o’clock position complete the vintage-inspired dial layout, accompanied by SEIKO, 5, and AUTOMATIC-style dial branding.
The watch is housed in a stainless steel integrated case with a crown positioned at approximately 4 o’clock. It is powered by a Seiko Caliber 7009 automatic mechanical movement, a 17-jewel self-winding movement operating at approximately 21,600 vibrations per hour.
Its original case back is marked with the Seiko reference 7009-3030 and serial number 408187, providing identification details for the vintage Seiko case.
This example is presented in vintage pre-owned condition with an inspired/redial dial. The stainless steel case, automatic movement, and integrated stainless steel bracelet show age and wear consistent with a vintage pre-owned watch.
Collector’s Note
The Seiko 5 collection is known for its practical automatic mechanical movements and distinctive vintage designs.
This example features a silver-white inspired/redial dial, rather than an original factory Seiko dial. The vintage Seiko case, Caliber 7009 automatic movement, and period case-back markings provide the foundation of the watch, while the replacement/inspired dial gives it its current appearance.
For collectors, the dial originality should be considered when evaluating this piece.

Important Note
Due to the age and nature of vintage automatic mechanical movements, timekeeping performance may vary and may not meet the accuracy standards of modern quartz watches.
The movement should ideally be inspected and serviced by a qualified watchmaker if its recent service history is unknown.
The dial is an inspired/redial and is not being represented as an original factory Seiko dial. Collectors should take dial originality into consideration when assessing the watch.
The “WATER RESISTANT” marking is a period case-back marking and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of present-day water resistance. Gaskets, seals, crystal, crown and case-back components naturally deteriorate with age.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, vintage watches are not pressure-tested and should not be assumed to be water-resistant.
The bracelet should also be inspected for normal vintage wear, including link stretch, pin condition and clasp security.
All measurements are approximate. Please examine all product photographs carefully before purchase, as photographs form an important part of the condition description.
