A classic vintage Seiko 5 automatic wristwatch featuring a distinctive TV-style cushion case and a warm textured champagne-gold dial. The combination of raised hour markers, classic Seiko 5 branding, and a brown faux-crocodile leather strap gives this timepiece a refined retro character.
The watch is powered by its original Seiko Caliber 7009 automatic mechanical movement, offering the convenience of self-winding mechanical operation with a practical day-date calendar display.
Its stainless steel case features the distinctive TV-style profile associated with vintage Seiko designs, while the screw-down case back retains the original period configuration.
This example is presented in vintage pre-owned condition, with normal signs of age and wear consistent with a vintage mechanical watch. It is paired with a brown faux-crocodile leather strap with a standard steel pin buckle.

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. Vintage mechanical movements can require periodic servicing to maintain stable performance.
Any original water-resistance markings or specifications 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.
All measurements are approximate. Please examine all product photographs carefully before purchase, as photographs form an important part of the condition description.
